The Ger/CB/1911 in Springsharp 3.0b2 Beta

The Ger/CB/1911 design has an inclined belt, so it is a good candidate to try in Springsharp 3.0b2 Beta, which now allows for inclined armour. This is a photo of one of the ships:

This was intended to be a 30 knot ship with 6-12in BLR and 8-6in QF guns. The armour basis is 6in with a 5in deck. The design is actually intended to have an upper and lower protective deck, but Springsharp doesn't currently allow us to specify those thicknesses separately. I actually had overspecified the ship so that there is a great deal of excess capability in the design. The actual Springsharp design has a 35 knot speed as a consequence. This is the Springsharp report:
