The extravagantly large and fast version of the Ger/CB/1943

This version of the design for the Ger/CB/1943 matches my current thoughts about what such a ship should be like. The size is somewhat larger, so that a maximum speed of 37 knots can be achieved, along with an 18 knot cruising speed for a range of 8,000 nm. The belt is a modest 13in. I prefer twin turrets for the secondary and tertiary batteries, so the armament is 9-21in, 16-6in QF, 16-4in AA, 72-40mm AA quad, and 56-20mm AA single. This is the Springsharp report:
