A design study for a smaller Ger/BB/1915 CDV
I have a pencil inboard profile for a smaller coast defense battleship labelled Ger/BB/1915 CDV (Coast Defense Vessel). The ship is moderately well protected, has a speed of 20 knots, and carries 4-16.5in guns. The ship has an anachronistic look, with a tower formast and trunked funnel. The Springsharp design worked quite well:
