I've switched to 1 pixel = 6" or 15 cm for this drawing, just to see how it would turn out, and this is what I plan to build....what do you think?

Bunker at max displacement = 291 tons
Complement:
160 - 209
Cost:
£0.979 million / $3.914 million
Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
Armament: 48 tons, 2.2 %
Armour: 20 tons, 0.9 %
- Belts: 0 tons, 0.0 %
- Torpedo bulkhead: 0 tons, 0.0 %
- Armament: 17 tons, 0.8 %
- Armour Deck: 0 tons, 0.0 %
- Conning Tower: 2 tons, 0.1 %
Machinery: 1,142 tons, 51.6 %
Hull, fittings & equipment: 682 tons, 30.8 %
Fuel, ammunition & stores: 240 tons, 10.9 %
Miscellaneous weights: 80 tons, 3.6 %
Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
533 lbs / 242 Kg = 7.9 x 5.1 " / 130 mm shells or 0.3 torpedoes
Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.13
Metacentric height 1.4 ft / 0.4 m
Roll period: 13.1 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.64
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 1.00
Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
and transom stern
Block coefficient: 0.388
Length to Beam Ratio: 10.41 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 22.66 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 66 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 70
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 30.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 5.00 ft / 1.52 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 20.00 ft / 6.10 m
- Forecastle (15 %): 17.00 ft / 5.18 m
- Mid (50 %): 15.00 ft / 4.57 m
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 15.00 ft / 4.57 m
- Stern: 15.00 ft / 4.57 m
- Average freeboard: 15.83 ft / 4.82 m
Ship tends to be wet forward
Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 187.2 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 102.3 %
Waterplane Area: 9,042 Square feet or 840 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 66 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 39 lbs/sq ft or 189 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.50
- Longitudinal: 1.84
- Overall: 0.57
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is cramped
Room for accommodation and workspaces is adequate
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
