There are also some photos, of varying quality, that I put together, as well:
Here is a shot from a higher elevation, from a distance:
Here is a photo from the port quarter:
The design has four twin 12in turrets and four single 12in turrets. There are also 12-12pdr QF guns in a battery below the forecastle level, but amidships. The 12in belt is complete, also in the Continental style of the period. The speed was to be a very great 24 knots. In Springsharp, the way I have been describing the 12in gun turret positions is not working well, as there are recoil and stability issues, when the layout really should work. The problem is with the concept of how Springsharp describes superfiring guns. If the upper 12in wing turrets are desribed as superfiring, there is a problem. Does anyone have a suggested solution?
