This is another odd result: the Ger/BB/1907 Design Study A1

I have this Italian-looking German battleship design. I'm calling it the Ger/BB/1907 Design Study A1. The ship has 15-11in/45 guns (43 tons). That is the main feature of the ship. I had only allowed for 20 knots, but in Springsharp, I got 25 knots on a smaller displacement. Not only that, it is a good seaboat:
