Again, the GB/BB/1908 design is an amazing ship (to me)

Apparently, since the GB/BB/1908 is benefitting from a better SHP/ton figure than you might have otherwise allowed, it has become a supership. I actually had allowed 80,000 SHP for 25 knots, but Springsharp is only requiring 65,544 SHP to reach 25 knots. This is fast enough to be suitable for the "Battleship-Cruiser" role. The armament is 9-12in/50 BLR and 8-6in/50 QF guns. The belt is a respectable 13in, which is also the maximum turret face and barbette thicknesses, as well. The deck is unnaturally thick at 4in. Anyway, this is the ship that my friend Cliff designed for production, starting in 1908. I had though there were more, but the Hindustan was to be laid down in 1908, and the Falklands, Sandwich, and New Zealand in 1909.
