Even at 60,000 tons standard, the Ger/BB/1915 is still potent

The only modification that I made to the Ger/BB/1915 60,000 ton specification was to raise the speed and power, so that the ship can make 23 knots. The design does not have the extreme protection that is characteristic of the 72,000 ton version. The protection is still adequate, however. The draft is a much more reasonable 34ft. This design was part of a wargame campaign that ignored air power and submarines. The game was all about building surface fleets to fight Jutland-like battles. This version has 16-6in QF guns as the secondary armament, as all the guns were designed to be in inches, not metric measurement. This is the Springsharp report:
