How about a Modernized "Super Queen Victoria" class battleship?

I would choose to design a modernized Super Queen Victoria class ship, as that is my concept and not someone elses. I would go for improved deck armour, anti-torpedo protection, increased beam through bulges of the West Virginia type, and a somewhat higher speed. There should be some benefit to having much ligher weight machinery, after all. I like the twin 4.5in DP mount, so my design has 10 twin mounts, giving 20-4.5in DP guns. I also have a light AA armament. For this to work right, it is apparently necessary to reset the laid down date to the date when the modernization would start, in my case 1939. This is the Springsharp report:
