Speed costs (duh). What's your battleline's speed? 23 knots?

Just fiddling, I can get something near your requirements for ~ 6750 tons (see below). Honestly I think 32 knots and an 8 knot advantage on your battleline speed ought to be enough, and I think the endurance on your design is probably a bit excessive for a ship this size, but I don't know that much better could be done with our rules and techs.

Note that the armor scheme here somewhat immitates that of interwar British cruisers: main belt is relatively short, but covers magazine and machinery spaces. The upper belt simulates the 1" protection over the machinery spaces that went right up to the weather deck in some ships. I added the end belts just cuz. They cost ~ 170 tons displacement.

Range is only an issue because it's 7,500nm from Brandenburg to Ostafrika. If I stop in Neu Volgeldreck to refuel it's only 5,900nm there, then 1,600nm the rest of the way. 6000nm@14 doesn't give me much wiggle room.

[Guinness]

Sounds like an argument to develop underway refueling and fast oilers to me  ;)

Another crack at this one. Turrets are abC/y.

[The Rock Doctor]

The main battery is arranged for...more firepower against enemy torpedoboats?

[Sachmle]

The main battery is arranged for...more firepower against enemy torpedoboats?

Yes. Based on Guinness' note that the fore quarter was the most dangerous angle of attack for torpedo craft to be on. Also, I'm working on a picture.

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
   Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
     11,149 lbs / 5,057 Kg = 39.5 x 8.3 " / 210 mm shells or 1.4 torpedoes
   Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.10
   Metacentric height 2.9 ft / 0.9 m
   Roll period: 15.2 seconds
   Steadiness   - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
         - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.60
   Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.11

Hull form characteristics:
   Hull has rise forward of midbreak
   Block coefficient: 0.510
   Length to Beam Ratio: 10.00 : 1
   'Natural speed' for length: 24.84 kts
   Power going to wave formation at top speed: 54 %
   Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 63
   Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 14.90 degrees
   Stern overhang: -6.56 ft / -2.00 m
   Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):

Ship space, strength and comments:
   Space   - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 107.6 %
      - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 140.8 %
   Waterplane Area: 25,590 Square feet or 2,377 Square metres
   Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 107 %
