A rework of my "48,000 ton battlecruiser" design

Well, this is only nominally a 48,000 ton ship, as my Springsharp design came out heavier, due to structural strength needs. The design is for a ship of 855ft x 105ft x 33.3ft with a speed of 30 knots. The armament is 9-16in/45 BLR and 20-5in QF guns. The armor basis is 14inches. This is the Springsharp report:

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
 Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
   71,719 lbs / 32,531 Kg = 35.0 x 16.0 " / 406 mm shells or 10.6 torpedoes
 Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.08
 Metacentric height 6.2 ft / 1.9 m
 Roll period: 17.7 seconds
