I'm not understanding the layout here: 2 centerline turrets, 2 wing turrets, 1 raised turret.  How's that work?

IMO, not enough 13cm guns, the 8cm's are too light to stop destroyers and with only 4 guns per beam the ship lacks sufficient anti-light ship firepower.  The 60mm end armor seems too light: too light to shatter a large-caliber HE round, and yet heavy enough to fuze an AP or base-fuzed HE round.  Torpedo bulkhead is really narrow and thin.

Also, under the N4.5 fuel rules, I think she needs to be 90% coal still, at least I never saw an official change to allow 80% at 1910.

What's all the miscellaneous weight for??

I'm not understanding the layout here: 2 centerline turrets, 2 wing turrets, 1 raised turret.  How's that work?

Do you know that the SpringSharp manual lists Dreadnought itself with a raised turret? Because the forward one is higher than the rest. Maybe that's the reason?

Yep, A-turret is raised to fire over the for'castle

I like the original dissymetric casemates disposition.

I like the original dissymetric casemates disposition.

Jef  ;)

Thanks. That originated from not wanting to have casemate mounts directly under heavy guns. This lead to the small number of heavy secondaries that KWorld noted. As designed they were 150mm guns, but I decided to go with 130mm instead. Tho I am not a fan of asymmetric layouts normally, I quite like the look here.

[KWorld]

So, Princess Royal's going to be a replacement Invincible, with a layout more like Von der Tann?

[snip]

This is the design in my first post, not a N5 one. She was going to be the first of the Royal Angelic Navy battlecruisers. No relation to the Princess Royal of OTL

Ah, OK.  The name, without a country code in front of it, threw me since you have the UK.....

I understand the confusion. If it is here, there is very little likelyhood of it ever getting built in N5
