Another try at the Red Book version of the Super Lion

I have this inboard profile of the Super Lion, as I drew it in the early 1970's in the Jane's Fighting Ship style, with different armour thicknesses in different textures. The specification was grossly over-optimistic:

Super Lion

Displacement = 27,000 tons Standard       10-15in/45 (97 ton)
               28,500 tons normal load    16-5in/50 (5 ton)
               31,500 tons deep load

Speed = 32 knots normal     Cost = £2.43 million 
        35.6 knots max

There are no dimensions in the specification, although the inboard profile is to scale at 1 inch = 100 feet. A much larger ship with the lightest machinery is necessary to implement the specification, such as it is.
