A design-game test of a British response to Dante Alighieri uses a battlecruiser hull for its length and internal space. The resulting ship cannot carry enough armor, leaving it with 10 inches of protection when it is taken into a battleship fight. The outcome belongs to the simulation, but it exposes the same tradeoff between speed, space, and protection found in historical capital-ship design.
