The second version of the Ger/BB/1909 design

The second version of the Ger/BB/1909 design was trying to look more German. The only thing is that I grossly overestimated what it would take to implement the design that I specified. I decided to not increase the capabilities but to decrease the displacement to achieve what I had specified. This is the original specification:

Ger/BB/1909  12in/50 guns of 65 tons  Standard Displacement=30,760 tons
              6in QF guns of  8 tons  Dimensions: 640ft x 105ft x 30ft
          Cp=0.55  Cm=0.97    Power: 75,000 SHP=24 knots @ 14 SHP/ton
Weights:
Hull= 12,400 tons
Arm=   1,492.7 tons
Mach=  5,370 tons
Prot=  7,417.3 tons
Misc=  2,320 tons

This is the Springsharp report for that design:
