What do you think of this 25,000-ton standard-battleship design?
Short answerThe layered citadel appears credible for a ship carrying 12- to 14-inch guns, although thicker armour would better suit the preference for prolonged gunnery engagements.
NotesA viewer submits a 25,000-ton standard-battleship sketch for comment. The initial readable image suggests a credible arrangement for 12- to 14-inch guns, with a preference for thicker armour because the intended ship fights prolonged gunnery engagements. A later, clearer reading identifies a 300 mm outer belt, a 145 mm sloped layer, a 100 mm upper deck, and 80 mm internal decks. Its structural torpedo defence uses a double-H arrangement. These dimensions come from the spoken reading of the images, whose smaller labels are initially difficult to make out.
