The design is predicated on a few techs I'd need to work on. Mostly the 5" guns w/ their twin mounts and the 1916 engine tech. I'd also have to expand one of my type 2 slips to a type 3.

1917AC, NUS Armoured Cruiser laid down 1917 (Engine 1916)

Displacement:
   28,000 t light; 29,238 t standard; 30,892 t normal; 32,215 t full load

   - Armour deck: 1.50" / 38 mm, Conning tower: 14.00" / 356 mm

Machinery:
   Oil fired boilers, steam turbines, Electric motors,
        4 shafts, 126,338 shp / 94,248 Kw = 30.00 kts
   Range 8,000nm at 12.00 kts
   Bunker at max displacement = 2,977 tons

Complement:
   1,164 - 1,514

Cost:
   £5.050 million / $20.201 million

Distribution of weights at normal displacement:
   Armament: 1,355 tons, 4.4 %
   Armour: 8,707 tons, 28.2 %
      - Belts: 2,987 tons, 9.7 %

         - 25t LRWT
         - 40t 20 21" Torpoedoes
         - 75t 75 Mines
         - 110t Reserve

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
   Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
     37,271 lbs / 16,906 Kg = 30.3 x 13.5 " / 343 mm shells or 5.9 torpedoes
   Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.10
   Metacentric height 6.0 ft / 1.8 m
   Roll period: 17.2 seconds
   Steadiness   - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 57 %
         - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.53
   Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.13

Hull form characteristics:
   Hull has raised forecastle, rise forward of midbreak
   Block coefficient: 0.500
   Length to Beam Ratio: 7.21 : 1
   'Natural speed' for length: 26.85 kts
   Power going to wave formation at top speed: 53 %
   Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 51
   Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
   Stern overhang: -3.00 ft / -0.91 m
   Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
      - Stem:      30.00 ft / 9.14 m

      - Stern:      20.00 ft / 6.10 m
      - Average freeboard:   22.72 ft / 6.93 m

Ship space, strength and comments:
   Space   - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 106.9 %
      - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 171.7 %
   Waterplane Area: 48,033 Square feet or 4,462 Square metres
   Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 105 %
   Structure weight / hull surface area: 186 lbs/sq ft or 906 Kg/sq metre

      - Longitudinal: 1.38
      - Overall: 1.00
   Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is adequate
   Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent

IMO...

Too big for a NUS AC.
28 000t is for a BB
Too much ressources (BP) for "1" AC
