Yeah, after trying that with Sharpspring, I do think that it is a little out there. Here is the revised armament.
6 16"/50 triples 12 6"47 twins 4 3"/50 RF twins 4 3"/50 RF singles 4 quad 20mm Thunderbolts 4 quad .50 cal Maxims 18 quad 40mm Bofors 60 20mm Oerlikons

Distribution of weights at normal displacement: Armament: 4,972 tons, 4.0 % Armour: 34,562 tons, 27.8 % - Belts: 16,785 tons, 13.5 % - Torpedo bulkhead: 2,451 tons, 2.0 % - Armament: 5,143 tons, 4.1 % - Armour Deck: 10,021 tons, 8.1 % - Conning Tower: 161 tons, 0.1 % Machinery: 4,525 tons, 3.6 % Hull, fittings & equipment: 58,006 tons, 46.7 % Fuel, ammunition & stores: 22,198 tons, 17.9 % Miscellaneous weights: 0 tons, 0.0 %
Overall survivability and seakeeping ability: Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship): 235,837 lbs / 106,974 Kg = 115.2 x 16.0 " / 406 mm shells or 42.6 torpedoes Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.44 Metacentric height 15.0 ft / 4.6 m Roll period: 14.8 seconds Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 49 % - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.31 Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.19
Hull form characteristics: Hull has a flush deck and transom stern Block coefficient: 0.780 Length to Beam Ratio: 8.03 : 1 'Natural speed' for length: 37.53 kts Power going to wave formation at top speed: 41 % Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 41 Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length): - Stem: 36.48 ft / 11.12 m - Forecastle (20 %): 23.22 ft / 7.08 m - Mid (50 %): 23.22 ft / 7.08 m - Quarterdeck (15 %): 23.22 ft / 7.08 m - Stern: 23.22 ft / 7.08 m - Average freeboard: 24.28 ft / 7.40 m Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments: Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 63.7 % - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 181.1 % Waterplane Area: 135,421 Square feet or 12,581 Square metres Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 149 % Structure weight / hull surface area: 346 lbs/sq ft or 1,689 Kg/sq metre Hull strength (Relative): - Cross-sectional: 1.66 - Longitudinal: 1.12 - Overall: 1.23 Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
I have a feeling I didn't look at this right, so can anyone comment? Or help me interpret overall how well the design is? I am willing to reduce the number of main turrets to 5 mounts, and the secondaries down to 10 mounts.
