Well since the Kriegsmarine was all battered to hell, they couldn't actually build a battleship to carry the gun. So it was put on rails.

It was never meant to be a naval gun. Read the article, it was designed specifically to break the Maginot line.

From what I read about German X planes etc. they were trying to come up with a ship that could actually carry a gun like this. I don't know if they ever made any blue prints, as in the book it doesn't show any.

EDIT: They also had an idea for a Super Tank known as P.1000 Ratte (Rat)
