I have been looking at my designs for cruisers and cruiser killers from 2002. I have in front of me a prime example of what is possible. This version is 28,500 tons legend displacement. The hull is flush decked with high freeboard. The bow rises to about 35ft from the water, and has a considerable flare. The rest of the hull has a 25ft freeboard. The aft gun turret is 225ft from the stern while the forward gun turret is 200ft from the forward perpendicular. The stern has a narrow transom in same style as the cancelled British 1921 battlecruisers and the WWII Colony Class cruisers.
Here are the specs:
LWL=825ft
Lpp=789ft
B=85ft
d=28ft
Cp=0.53475
Cm=0.95
D=28,500 tons
SHP=225,000
V=36 knots
Belt=7in
Armament=9-11in/50, 12-5.5in/50, 6-4.7in AA
11in/50 AP shot=745lbs
5.5in/50 HE shot=85lbs
