The Ger/BB/1916 design with 20in guns

The Ger/BB/1916 design is a pretty compact ship to be carrying 20in guns, but the design works in Springsharp, at least if you allow lightweight machinery and accept an 18in armour basis. The armament is 9-20in BLR and 24-5in QF guns. I increased the speed to take advantage of the capacity in the design, so this version can reach 27 knots. The drawing is anachronistic, in may ways. I have a concept of a photograph of the ship, taken from the air, in the Pacific, would look like a WWII battleship. I started to write that the ship does not look German, but it does, except that the two funnels are not like what was used in WWII ships. This is the Springsharp report:
