    Might be a little controversial: my take at a 1934 refit of HMS Hood

    Late-war configuration of a hypothetically refitted Hood. This one would’ve been rebuilt instead of Waspite in 1934.

    The drawing and scale are off (short) by 1mm, my most profound apologies.

    Displacement: 45 000 tons standard

    Length: 262m (860 ft) [i got the drawing short by 1mm, sorry, no excuses]

    Beam: 32m (104 ft)

    Draught: 10m (32 ft)

    Armour: Length of armoured citadel: 176m (577 ft)

    Main belt: 12” (305mm) [12” belt extended to cover the area previously occupied by the 7” belt, with the uppermost 5” strake removed.]

    Citadel end bulkheads: 12” (305mm)

    Main deck: 4.5-5” (114-127mm)

    Barbettes: 11-15” (279-381mm)

    Main turrets: 6-15” (152-381mm)

    Armament:

    Main A/heavy AA: 8 x 15”/42 Mk I (8 per broadside)

    Secondaries/heavy AA: 22 x 4”/45 Mk XVI

    Medium AA: 60 x 40mm/56 Bofors MkII (36 per broadside) 32 x 40mm/39 Vickers Pom-Poms Mk VIII

    Light AA: (???) x 20mm Oerlikon, we can carpet any free space on the ship with them if needed

    Propulsion:

    8 Admiralty boilers

    Output of 160 000 shp

    4 screw driven by 4 turbines

    Max speed of 31.5 kn (58.3km/h)

    My second idea! This is meant to be a larger frigate, or maybe even a destroyer for the RN.
