Choosing between Spanish 203 mm cruiser proposals

Which of the preliminary Spanish 203 mm cruiser proposals would be the better design to build?

The final spoken choice is Design 9, although the discussion contradicts itself about twin and triple gun arrangements. Torpedo placement and parts of the upper deck also draw criticism.

The numbered Spanish cruiser proposals first have to be identified, and the speakers revise their reading of the design numbers during the comparison. The final spoken choice is Design 9. The gun arrangement remains uncertain: a preference for the triple-gun alternative is followed by another speaker saying that the designs are all twin-gunned. The displayed drawings are needed to resolve that disagreement. The torpedo positions attract criticism for their limited usefulness, and parts of the upper deck would be reshaped. The solid-walled upper-deck arrangement is nevertheless considered workable.
