The Ger/BB/1915 60,000 tons from a weight perspective

I had tried to go with the weight specifications given on the next page in the Red Book for the Ger/BB/1915 60,000 tons design, but the armour was too much for the ship and I had to decrease the protection weight, and lower the freeboard to stay at about 60,000 tons standard. The armament is 9-18in BLR and 16-6in QF guns. This ship was designed for the wargame campaign where there were aircraft and submarines were not used. It was intended as a counterweight to the GB/BB/1915 BBX design. This is the Springsharp report:
