The design pairs nine 16-inch guns with twelve six-inch guns on each side. A 36-knot top speed and roughly 19,800-kilometre range sit alongside a double hull, modern armour, autoloading, and third-generation radar. Protection includes a 20-inch main belt, 14-inch main deck, and 18-inch armour on the sides and barbettes. The combination makes survivability central to the design while showing how speed, firepower, protection, and range compete for space and weight.
