No, show me what you have in mind.

Very well.
Enough misc weight for FC and radar.
Will not fit in a type 2 dock

That's some sloop.  Kind of overkill for whacking protected cruisers, but the speed and firepower are interesting.  Hmm.  Gives me an idea to play with tonight...

I'm not profoundly concerned with the ship's length - I have three Type 3 ports and can expand the infrastructure within them if need be.

15500t - 6x305 - 29kts - 200mm protection...

That's a Pocket BattleCruiser.
Her job is to kill PC & AC

There is no "pocket" over her, she is is the same size as most battlecruisers of the "1909"-generation, she simply drops one turret for allot more speed.

[The Rock Doctor]

She'd be an armored cruiser in GC parlance.

That's right for 1909 but for 1912, BC are over 20.000t.
