Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
45.648 lbs / 20.706 Kg = 27,3 x 15,0 " / 380 mm shells or 6,7 torpedoes

Unless she's German I'd so overarmoured for a BC. More of an underarmoured BB.
Mackensen, I recognise it from all my multiple atempts to get her right.
Honestly ,its really "Erzatz Yorck", a bit tweaked ;)
