Another run at the GB/BB/1914 battleship design

My friend Cliff's concept for a 1914 battleship looked like a WWII-style ship. The design is flush-decked with a tower mast. The speed was 25 knots with 9-18in/45 and 20-5in/50 QF guns. I kept the same dimensions, except the displacement must be greater by a large increment. The dimensions are 800ft x 120ft x 31ft. The armor basis is 18in with a modified "all-or-nothing" scheme. The upper belt is thin, regrettably. That is partly mitigated by the thick deck (7in). This is the SpringSharp report. A great difference is that the guns are specified correctly. This is the corresponding photo:
