Very good for your first time. Just a few things:

1) The battleship needs half of the Main Battery superfiring, much of the Light AA Battery also need to be raised.
2) Seakeeping on the battleship is poor, might want to try and fix that.
3) Personally I would give the battleship some miscellaneous weight

You managed to get a TDS on the light cruiser but kept full belt protection, that isn't easy!

Ok thanks, also what is TDS?

Torpedo Defense System, aka the Torpedo bulkhead.

You also have quite a bit of excess hull strength, an indicator that your ships are either too large for the intended fit, or underarmed for your intended tonnage.

I agree with the points brought up by the others. I would add a few more secondary turrets on the Battlecruiser. Two twins on each side isn't much. I would probably increase speed and armor a bit with the hullstrength left after raising two main gun turrets and trying to keep seakeeping above 1.

I think I might have mentioned it quite a while ago here, but IIRC in my book on the Scharnhorst class it was mentioned that the TBH had to be angled in order to be effective due to the narrow beam. Regardless of what SS says, I don't think that in reality the TBH would work on the 21m beam of that cruiser so it would be better to discard it. Looking around a bit, I mentioned it here and quoted the bit from the book...

It is interesting that you used SS2 for the first two and then switched to SS3 with the carrier. Looking at the placement of the miscellaneous weights that tells me you probably did that because of stability issues in SS2 with all that weight. One problem with it is that none of the guns have a shell weight. Another thing I am seeing is that the Cross-sectional hull strength is higher than the Longitudinal. With almost all of my sims, it is the other way around or they are roughly equal to each other. You could raise the freeboard somewhat to gain some more hull strength which you could use on armor or speed or fuel or miscellaneous weights...

Did it because the SS3 gave more options and felt more sure after using SS2 for a bit.

How I didn't noticed that I will never know, thanks for the heads-up.

No soy experto en barcos y mis conocimientos de historia se detienen en la segunda guerra, pero creo que el termino leviatan encaja más que el de crucero ligero. :D Siento pena el pobre desgraciado que tenga que enfrentarsele. Una vez que acorte la brecha de terreno sería capaz de dejar lleno de agujeros a cualquier cosa.

(I am not an expert in ships and my knowledge of history stops in the second war, but I think the term leviathan fits more than light cruiser. : D I feel sorry for the poor wretch who has to face it. Once it has shorten the terrain gap itwould be able to leave anything filled with holes.(

Cierto, lo irónico es que comenzo como un diseño de 6800 toneladas pero problemas y demás hizo que terminara así

(True, the irony is that this started as a 6800 tons design but problems and other things made it finish like this)
