I was experimenting with a Hood-like ship

I wondered how my power calculation program would do with a ship like the Hood. I don't know the coefficients for the Hood, so I had to guess. These are my results:
Displacement=42200.0 tons
Length=850.0ft
Beam=104.0ft
Draft=30.0641ft
Cp=0.585
Cm=0.95
Cb=0.55575
Hull Weight=13392.6 tons
Displacement=42200.0 tons
DLR=68.7156
Wetted Surface=95826.5
B/H=3.45927
At speed of 10knots power  is 3633.33 SHP
At speed of 11knots power  is 4773.53 SHP
At speed of 12knots power  is 6117.54 SHP
At speed of 13knots power  is 7684.03 SHP
At speed of 14knots power  is 9486.35 SHP
At speed of 15knots power  is 11681.5 SHP
At speed of 16knots power  is 14369.1 SHP
At speed of 17knots power  is 17377.4 SHP
At speed of 18knots power  is 20738.2 SHP
At speed of 19knots power  is 24451.1 SHP
At speed of 20knots power  is 28529.1 SHP
At speed of 21knots power  is 32999.6 SHP
At speed of 22knots power  is 38195.1 SHP
At speed of 23knots power  is 45949.4 SHP
At speed of 24knots power  is 54340.8 SHP
At speed of 25knots power  is 63381.5 SHP
At speed of 26knots power  is 73112.8 SHP
At speed of 27knots power  is 83556.7 SHP
At speed of 28knots power  is 94665.1 SHP
At speed of 29knots power  is 106519.0 SHP
At speed of 30knots power  is 129111.0 SHP
At speed of 31knots power  is 155055.0 SHP
actual speed for 151280.0 SHP  is 30.8545
