The J/BB/1933 design almost seems too capable
The J/BB/1933 design is so capable, that it almost seems to be unrealistic. You have an armament of 10-18in BLR, 12-6in QG, 20-5in DP, and 56-57mm AA guns. The speed is 30 knots with a range of 12,000nm at 15 knots. The armour basis is 17in with 8in deck and a 7in torpedo bulkhead. This is the Springsharp report:
