My Ger/BB/1907 with better SHP/ton

With a better SHP/ton for the machinery, I was almost able to match my hopes for the design from 1973. I had hoped for 30 knots, but I have settled for 29 knots (still faster than the original 1971 concept). The design carries 8-12in BLR and 12-4in QF guns. The belt is 13in with a 3.5in deck. The A/T bulkhead is 2 inches. This is the report:
