Pursuant to Hoo's "No SS3 Decree"

The following are my attempts to replicate some of Alt_Naval's SS3 designs in SS2.

1st up are the Lysandros Class Battleships. To keep light weight at 37,000t and meet SS2's belt length required I had to thin the main belt 1", shorten it's height 1', shorten the end belt 2' and the upper belt 4'. I also had to thin the deck 0.2", the TDS 0.5", and the turret other 2". Here is the kicker though, due to the way Alt_Naval laid out the ships freeboard technically the 2 triple turrets are both AFT of the "Mid-Break" and on deck level (therefore not superfiring) and the twin is on the foredeck between the mid break and the forecastle. If it is decided that, even though it is technically correct as is, the "B" turret needs to be 'superfiring' it will probably require dropping speed to make up the difference in hull strength.
