The 16in gun version of the design series

This is towards the high end of the series of designs, of which I previously posted the 12in gun version. The 16in gun version does not work as well. I would guess that the reason is that the relatively shallow draft decreases seakeeping and composite strength in SpringSharp. The roiginal specification follows:

Displacement= 46,132 tons

9-16in guns

L= 814ft
B= 120ft
D= 30ft

Cp= 0.58
Cm= 0.95

Speed= 29 knots

Belt= 14in
Decks= 4in + 2in

This version seems more heavily protected, and other factors suffer, due to that. This is the Springsharp report:
