Photo of a Ger/CBL/1915 Mod.A fast, light battlecruiser (UPDATED)

This is my first attempt at a photo of a Ger/CBL/1915 Mod.A fast, light battlecruiser. It is 800ft x 80ft x 25ft, and 20,750 tons displacement. The armament is 2-12in/45 BLR and 12-6in/50 QF guns. The armor basis is 4in and the speed is 40 knots, in the fastest version. The updated version of this photo corrects the funnels being too tall, as well as the mainmast. This ship design is intended to be used in the anti-cruiser role. WWI-style light cruisers would be run down and destroyed with the two 12in guns. The side armor is thick enough to allow the ship to close with the smaller light cruisers and the 6-6in guns on the broadside are sufficient to engage them as the ship closes for the kill.
