The flush-decked 1905 battlecruiser

I looked up the characteristics of the ship whose photo I just posted. The dimensions are 570ft x94ft x 28ft, with 8-12in/45 BLR and 12-6in/45 QF guns, 10in armor basis, and a speed of 27 knots (if we let the displacement balloon). It is just over a hundred feet shorter than the Derfflinger (at 689ft).
