Question

What arrangement would suit the proposed 40,000-ton warship?

Short answer

Probably an F3 layout, with a longer hull, broadly similar armor arrangements, and more horsepower to increase speed.

Notes

The proposed 40,000-ton design would probably use an F3 layout. The extra displacement would allow a longer hull. Broadly similar armor and protection arrangements would be retained over that larger hull. More horsepower would then be available to raise the ship's speed.
