Another "Super Lion" design

I have a design for a rather Small Super Lion design that attempts to implement Admiral Fisher's concept on a 750ft ship. The problem with this version is that the displacement increased dramatically to 37,500 tons. It still is a 30-knot ship with 10=15in guns. In this case, the armor basis is 8in, although is simply because that is what I chose, as the drawing is non-specific. I guess that my protection is heavier than 6,000 tons is the reason for the size increase. To do 6,000 tons would imply at most a 6in belt. This is the Springsharp report:
