A variant of the Ger/CB/1915 design ("Blücher")

I have an early sketch of the Ger/CB/1905 light battlecruiser design that has a better secondary battery than the other versions. The ship has the same 4-12in/45 BLR but has 10-4in QF guns in casemates and then 4-4in QF guns in shields mounted on the superstructure, giving 14-4in QF guns. The ship otherwise is consistent with the rather sparse specification. The original cost was estimated at £1,710,000. This is the Springsharp report:

Ship space, strength and comments:
 Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 134.1 %
  - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 191.6 %
 Waterplane Area: 36,866 Square feet or 3,425 Square metres

 Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
 Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
 Good seaboat, rides out heavy weather easily
