A 1916 fast British battleship

Jumping back to my series of British fast battleships, I designed a 16in-gunned version for 1916. This is attempting to fit into that series, and uses a secondary armament of 5.5in QF guns with a main battery of 16in BLR. The armour basis is 13in. The result is almost a battlecruiser or a fast battleship reminiscent of the late 1930's. The layout is conservative, with four twin turrets for the 16in guns. The 5.5in guns would be in shields and mounted high (upper deck and superstructure). As usual, I have retained a 16ft high belt of the maximum thickness, unlike the usual practice of having a thick lower belt and a thinner upper belt. There is no "upper deck side" armour, either. The deck is 4in thick, and hopefully that would suffice. The torpedo bulkhead is 3in thick, which is substantial for the period. The speed is 27.5 knots with a 6,200nm range at a cruising speed of 17 knots. This is the Springsharp report:
