A Super Fast Battlecruiser variant

I had this design, but I had forgotten to use a transom stern. Having the small transom, in typical British 1921 style, allowed me to improve the overall qualities and decrease displacement. The GB/CB/1921 Super Fast carried 4-17in/45 BLR and 12-5.5in QF guns. The lower belt is 8in and the deck is 3in. The top speed is 40 knots and the ship has a range of 6,500nm at 16 knots. This is a photo that I struggled to produce using a chisle and hammer, which is all I have to work with in a locked down environment, and it shows (you should be able to click on it to get a larger photo):
