My anachronistic version of the 3rd Class Battleship Warrior
I have played around with anachronistic versions of HMS Warrior since I was a teenager. This one works moderately well, as a 3rd Class Battleship or Armoured Cruiser laid down in 1910. It is suitable for service in distant waters or as a convoy escort. The armament is mixed, with 4-8in BLR, 10-6in QF, 8-4in QF, and 12-6pdr QF guns. The belt is 8in with the main and secondary armaments in twin turrets. The dimensions are those of the original ship from 1860, but laid down in 1910:
