A big ship is necessary to implement Colonel Cuniberti's ideas in Springsharp 3.0b Beta

I was able to get Colonel Cuniberti's ideas to work in Springsharp 3.0b Beta, but the ship had to have a great displacement and large dimensions. Lightweight machinery was also required, but I was able to use his armament layout and a 24 knot speed, with a complete 12in belt. This ship is really a battleship-cruiser of the sort advocated by William Hovgaard. This is the Springsharp report:
