Guns are too long for the era; L48s maybe, L58s, haha, no. Stability is too low IMHO. The Springsharp is flushdecked rather than with a deck-break aft. Finally, there is no extended bulbous bow on the drawing, and it is not used historically until the very late 1930s. (Unless you're using a *ram* bow, which is a bit different in design.)

Other than that it's okay.

Hey, another variant of my famous KONING class.... :o)

Nice and detailled drawing but those barrels are really way too long. I think you also moved the turrets a tid bit further foward and aft. Especially D and E turrets are pretty close to the stern. That might cause problems with the shafts underneath. Every single meter matters, methinks. And like with ALVAMAs version - those rangefinders are too small for my liking.

In general her overall layout is too advanced for 1912 of course. The KONING class rebuild this is based on is from the late 1920s....
