Very fast ships with a few big guns

While I did not conceive of the GB/CB/1905 design, I have evidently bought into the basic concept: accept light protection and just a few guns, in exchange for very high speed (in excess of 32 knots). My ultimate expression of the concept was designed in 1973, when I conceived of what I optimistically called the "Super Fast Battlecruiser". The idea was to have a short citadel, 4-17in guns, and maybe an 8 inch lower belt. The ship had "soft ends", similar to the "all-or-nothing" ships, except that the lower belt was thicker than the upper belt (I believe). This is a photo of one of the "Super Fast Battlecruisers" steaming at moderate speed:
