I'm working on an "alternative" 1921-style "Super Fast Battlecruiser"

My modified design is flush decked with a transom stern. The bow is flared and rises to about 36ft above the waterline. To accommodate very highpower machinery, I have had to lengthen the citadel. That pushes the forward 17in/45 twin turret at least 50ft further forward. The bridge structure is reminiscent of what Edward Attwood and Stanley Goodall were using on the "1921" ships that were being designed prior to the Washington Naval Treaty. The machinery follows the "unit system", and pushing the forward turret further towards the bow gives more of a cruiser look than the design previously had.
