Power needed for a 35-knot Renown design

A weight-dependent estimate puts a hypothetical 35-knot Renown-type design at roughly 160,000 shaft horsepower or more.

Question

How much shaft horsepower would a lighter Renown-type design need to reach 35 knots?

Short answer

The Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts design would need at least 160,000 shaft horsepower, with the final requirement depending on its weight.

Notes

The estimate applies to a hypothetical Renown-type design in Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts. Its weight affects the power needed to reach 35 knots. The requirement is placed at no less than roughly 160,000 shaft horsepower. That remains a conditional estimate for the proposed design.
