uhm DAMN... and I thought my ships were big.

[Nobody]

uhm DAMN... and I thought my ships were big.

Big? It's huge. And flawed, e.g. because the armor is rather thin. At this point in time I would especially expect the upper belt to be ~50% thicker.

[snip]

It shares the armor of the Formidables in terms of thickness. Basically it is a stretched Formidable to accommodate more 9.2" guns

[KWorld]

It's wasting a lot of strength on deck armor that will never be used.  4" of armor over the citadel??

[snip]

Its a multi-deck configuration like the rest of my battleships. Only a 2" main deck that tapers to 1" over the ends.

[Delta Force]

I just noticed that your Cressy First Class Cruiser has a 53 inch barbette on the secondary guns. Correcting that might save you enough tonnage for a new starting destroyer or two.
