Apparently, the 26,000 ton battleship was supposed to have 12in guns

I have a sheet with some notes that the 26,000 ton battleship drawing had 8-12in guns and some notes about armor thickness on turret and barbette. The armor basis appears to have been only 10in, with oddly thin turret faces and thick tops. That is the sort of feature that my friend Cliff with have, as he was an experimenter. The dimensions were 570ft x 105ft x 25.7ft with a displacement of 26,000 tons. I treated that here as if it were normal, not standard. The benefit of a design like this is that they tend to have better seakeeping ability than the tighter designs. This is the Springsharp report:
