A broadside photo of one of the two Ger/CB/1906 battlecruisers (Updated)

This is a photo that shows a broadside view of one of the two Ger/CB/1906 battlecruisers. These were not very originally named as Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. These were 800ft long and carried an armament of 8-12in/45 BLR and 16-4in QF guns. The side armor was only 4in, but it was inclined out and the deck armor was substantial. The top speed was 33 knots. The thin side armor was a gesture towards achieving the maximum speed. This was my response to my friend Cliff's GB/CB/1905 battlecruisers which had only 4-12 guns. I realized that my original cut at this photo didn't have enough freeboard, so that has been fixed.
