A big British dreadnought cruiser: the GB/CB/1905

This is the cruiser variant of the battleship-cruiser design. The side armour is thinner and the speed is raised to 26 knots. The armament is 8-12in/45 on the centerline, with a super-firing turret aft. The secondary armament is the same 16-4in QF guns in casemates. The belt is 10in on the waterline. The design depends on lightweight machinery. This is the Springsharp report:
