The armoured version of the Ger/CS/1905 design

This attempt at the armoured version of the Ger/CS/1905 scout cruiser is the closest that I have come to making the original specification work in Springsharp. This is the specification that goes with a pencil sketch:

Ger/CS/1905  Standard displacement=2,480 tons
Dimensions: 370ft x 38ft x 13ft  Cp=0.56  Cm=0.85
Armour: 2in H.T. Belt  Armament: 5-4in QF guns and 2-18in TT
Speed=36 knots   Oil Fuel
Cost=£223,000  Power: 44,000 SHP normal   52,800 SHP max.

What was actually possible in Springsharp was something less:

    - Belts: 246 tons, 9.0 %
    - Torpedo bulkhead: 0 tons, 0.0 %

    - Armour Deck: 0 tons, 0.0 %
    - Conning Tower: 8 tons, 0.3 %
 Machinery: 1,448 tons, 53.0 %
 Hull, fittings & equipment: 694 tons, 25.4 %
 Fuel, ammunition & stores: 298 tons, 10.9 %
 Miscellaneous weights: 0 tons, 0.0 %

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
 Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
   732 lbs / 332 Kg = 22.9 x 4.0 " / 102 mm shells or 0.3 torpedoes
 Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.36
 Metacentric height 2.0 ft / 0.6 m
 Roll period: 11.2 seconds
 Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 57 %
   - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.19
 Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.14

Hull form characteristics:
 Hull has rise forward of midbreak
 Block coefficient: 0.503
 Length to Beam Ratio: 9.74 : 1
 'Natural speed' for length: 19.24 kts
 Power going to wave formation at top speed: 72 %
 Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
 Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
 Stern overhang: -2.00 ft / -0.61 m
 Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
    - Stem:  26.00 ft / 7.92 m
    - Forecastle (20 %): 25.00 ft / 7.62 m
    - Mid (36 %):  25.00 ft / 7.62 m (17.00 ft / 5.18 m aft of break)
    - Quarterdeck (15 %): 17.00 ft / 5.18 m
    - Stern:  17.00 ft / 5.18 m
    - Average freeboard: 19.96 ft / 6.08 m

Ship space, strength and comments:
 Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 176.9 %
  - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 167.6 %
 Waterplane Area: 9,397 Square feet or 873 Square metres
 Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 72 %
 Structure weight / hull surface area: 32 lbs/sq ft or 157 Kg/sq metre
 Hull strength (Relative):
  - Cross-sectional: 0.41
  - Longitudinal: 3.05
  - Overall: 0.50
 Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
 Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
