The GB/BB/1915, evidently from August 2001

The GB/BB/1912 design for my friend Cliff, did not work very well in SpringSharp. I had to lower freeboard and greatly increase the displacent (to 36,500 tons, normal). The original intent was for something like 32,500 tons. I confirmed that the secondary armament was intended to be 14-6in QF guns. I am reasonably certain that Cliff wanted a 14in armor basis. This is the SpringSharp report:
