This is my latest attempt at an "edgy" very fast cruiser killer

Frank Fox calls this sort of ship a "cruiser killer". That is how he describes the Alaska class, which is one of his favorite ship designs. I tried my hand again at a very fast armoured cruiser, and given that the design has 14in guns, we would be destined to call the design a battlecruiser. I wanted at least 36 knots, and I was able to achieve 36.5 knots. the armour belt is 9in, which should be sufficient to protect against the lesser cruisers. Those who have been following my string of designs may recognize this as being reminiscent of a design I did in the summer of 2001. This is the Springsharp report:
