A 1942-style British armoured cruiser (UPDATED)

I have thought about what a British armoured cruiser might have been like, if it were laid down in 1942. It has 9-9.2in BLR, 12-4.5in DP, 48-40mm AA, and 28-20mm AA guns. The armour basis is now 8in. The speed is a modest 32 knots. I initially underestimated the displacement that would be necessary. I also gave too long of an armoured citadel. I have shortened the armoured length. This allowed the armour basis to increase to 8in, instead of 7in. This is the Springsharp report:
