A Super Lion design with Springsharp 3.0b2 Beta

I decided to try the Super Lion design in Springsharp 3.0b2 Beta. The Super Lion was Admiral Fisher's design concept dating from early 1912 (I believe). The ship was to have ten "improved guns" (15in guns) and a 30 knot speed. The armour was to be de-emphasized. This is a photograph of one of the ships:

The ship works reasonably well in Springsharp. I was forced to reduce the freeboard (to keep from increasing the beam) to reduce the recoil effects to something manageable. That make the Super Lion wetter than I would like. The secondary battery that my version has consists of 14-6in guns. I am sure that Admiral Fisher would have pressed for 4in guns, but the 1912 ships had 6in guns. This is the Springsharp report:
