The F/CA/1923 heavy cruiser

The F/CA/1923 design now has 9-9.4in guns in triple turrets, 8-5.1in QF guns, 6-90mm AA, and 24-47mm AA guns. The torpedo armament is still 6-21.6in TT. The range is now 6,500nm at 15 knots. The maximum speed is still 32 knots. The protection is unchanged, except that the belt is longer and the torpedo bulkhead is taller. This is the Springsharp report:
