The Ger/BB/1915 design

The Ger/BB/1915 design is one where I greatly underestimated the speed that was possible with the specified power. This is a 750ft long ship of about 60,000 tons. The armament is 9-18 and 24-5in guns. The power was specified as 120,000 SHP, but the 26 knots is what Springsharp says is the top speed for that power. I had thought it would only make 20 knots. This is a much better ship than I had thought possible:
