Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
56,854 lbs / 25,788 Kg = 33.7 x 15.0 " / 381 mm shells or 8.1 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.04
Metacentric height 5.5 ft / 1.7 m
Roll period: 18.2 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 57 %

My new "Super Lion" design (1912)
I rethought the Super Lion design, as I have a photo in work that I will eventually post. The basic specs are 30 knots, 10-15in guns and I added 9in side armor. This is the Springsharp report. The displacement is greater than I had hoped.
