@Garlic, my two penny
I was quite surprised that one never made it to the archive
Wrong, several attempts to draw this class in the previous years/decade
First, the initial 1938/9 design of 40.000 ts
Then, the 1940/1 revision of 42.000 ts with more beam, more freeboard forward, a more raked (Vanguard-ish) bow, waterline protection extended nearly to the ends, and re-arranged aft superstructure to make room for the aft director which had been placed on top of turret X in the initial design
Not 1940-1941 but
January 1942 design
And a hypothetical as-completed fit with what I consider a plausible 1943 radar fit, aircraft facilities deleted and two octuple and two quad pompoms and 16 single Oerlikons added
Your 1943 timeline was IMPOSSIBLE for a ship finally designed in early 1942.
Early 1942 finally designed means => laid-down in 1943, launched in 1945, completed by 1946-1947 (at the best
)
Draw it "a la Vanguard" (radars/sensors/light AA guns)
