A really extreme ship: the GB/CL/1937 design

I would call the GB/CL/1937 design extreme due to the ship's size and the high speed. I would never expect that British to build such a fast ship, although it would be very capable. The armour basis is still 4in and the deck is 2in. There is no torpedo bulkhead armour. The speed is 37 knots with a range of 8,500nm at 15 knots. The armament is 12-6in QF, 12-4in AA, 32-2pdr AA guns, and 16-21in TT. This is the Springsharp report:

Ship space, strength and comments:
 Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 120.7 %
  - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 138.6 %
 Waterplane Area: 29,052 Square feet or 2,699 Square metres
 Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 105 %
