My wife called the GB/BB/19906 design "sleek"

I was caught by surprise when my wife described my drawing for the GB/BB/1906 "Britannia" class ships as "sleek". It is a fast battleship 680ft long with 6-12in/45 guns in the initial version and capable of 24 knots and more. The ship has heavy armor. As usual, my main criticism is that we tended to assume that we would need to sacrifice either armor, number of guns, or both to obtain high speed. That isn't necessarily true.
