it's a little heavier, but I kept it inside the 5% limit!!(Just)

5% limit? What 5% limit? I don't know about no steenkin' 5% limit!

I've tried, but not having much success!

No I mean on the drawing. Sorry for not making that clear.

Swamphen,
The 5% rule allows you to go over the stated limit of a class by a MAXIMUM of 5%, (Let's say it's down to a heavier brand of rivet being used) and remain treaty compliant!

So a BB of 35000 tons can actually be up to 36750 tons.
Or a DD of 2000 tons can actually be 2100 tons.

However the agreement is that we don't constantly MAX out on the weight, it's just a little WIGGLE room, to keep a design the way you want it.

So, you may well "need the steenkin' 5% rule!!!"
