My attempt at a battlecruiser analog to the Queen Elizabeth class

The initial plan was to build a battlecruiser in 1912 to go with the battleships to be built. In the event, only the four battleships were built, with a fifth funded by Malaya. This is my concept of what a battlecruiser laid down in 1912, with 8-15in BLR and 16-6in QF guns, with a 9in armour basis and a 29 knot speed might be like:

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
 Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
   39,535 lbs / 17,933 Kg = 23.4 x 15.0 " / 381 mm shells or 5.0 torpedoes
 Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.14
 Metacentric height 5.8 ft / 1.8 m
 Roll period: 16.4 seconds
 Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 57 %
   - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.80
 Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.15

Hull form characteristics:
 Hull has rise forward of midbreak
 Block coefficient: 0.586
 Length to Beam Ratio: 8.14 : 1
 'Natural speed' for length: 27.66 kts
 Power going to wave formation at top speed: 50 %
 Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 50
 Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): -2.00 degrees
 Stern overhang: -2.00 ft / -0.61 m
 Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
    - Stem:  28.00 ft / 8.53 m
    - Forecastle (20 %): 25.00 ft / 7.62 m
    - Mid (67 %):  25.00 ft / 7.62 m (17.00 ft / 5.18 m aft of break)

    - Stern:  17.00 ft / 5.18 m
    - Average freeboard: 22.60 ft / 6.89 m
 Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
 Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 113.6 %
  - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 186.3 %
 Waterplane Area: 51,903 Square feet or 4,822 Square metres
 Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 100 %
 Structure weight / hull surface area: 188 lbs/sq ft or 920 Kg/sq metre
 Hull strength (Relative):
  - Cross-sectional: 0.99
  - Longitudinal: 1.10
  - Overall: 1.00
 Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
 Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
