My "Super Lion" design

Admiral Fisher had proposed a "Super Lion" battlecruiser to Winston Churchill in January 1912. The class would have "restricted armour", "all oil", 10-"improved" (15in/42) guns, "cost £1,995,000", and "speed over 30 knots" .
In response to that idea, I designed my "Super-Lion": 27,000 tons standard, 28,500 legend displacement, 31,500 tons deep load.
I wanted 32 nots, 10-15in/45 (97 tons), and 16-5in/50 (5 tons).
My projected cost was £2,430,000. For that size ship, and my cost basis, this was the best that I could do. I need to post the picture, as it is worth seeing.
