A good version of the Ger/BB/1909A battleship design

With what I now know about Springsharp, the Ger/BB/1909A design came out quite well. The drawing and specifications were probably from 1973, as the drawing is done in that style. The ship comes out quite fast, as the size is such that the armor is not that significant. Admittedly, the machinery is fairly light for the power. The armament is 9-12in/50 BLR and 8-6in/50 QF. The speed is 27 knots. The displacement is 33,500 tons. This is the Springsharp report:
