An Atlanta-style light cruiser

I wanted to see what an Atlanta-style fast light cruiser would be like. I call my design the "US/CL/1940 AA". My ship has 16-5in/38 DP guns and has a 34 knot speed:

Ship space, strength and comments:
 Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 140.9 %
  - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 176.3 %
 Waterplane Area: 20,299 Square feet or 1,886 Square metres
