The ship has 8-12in/45 guns in three turrets, the twin being superfiring. The hull is flush-decked and the ship has oil-fired boilers. As you can see, this drawing is extremely freehand. The date of the machinery and the oil-fired boilers makes for a much better ship than the original. This is the corresponding Springsharp report:
