I suppose I'm not quite used to WW1 classes yet, but I always thought of battlecruisers as fast battleships/pocket battleships.

which is what your drawing is not as well.

battlecruisers are, according to wikipedia:
Quote:
A battlecruiser, or battle cruiser, was a large capital ship built in the first half of the 20th century. They were similar in size and cost to a battleship, and typically carried the same kind of heavy guns, but generally carried less armour and were faster. The first battlecruisers were designed in the United Kingdom in the first decade of the century, as a development of the armoured cruiser, at the same time the dreadnought succeeded the pre-dreadnought battleship. The original aim of the battlecruiser was to hunt down slower, older armoured cruisers and destroy them with heavy gunfire. However, as more and more battlecruisers were built, they increasingly became used alongside the better-protected battleships.

It is definitely faster than a battleship of it's time, but you are right, it is no fast battleship.

I've relabeled it as an armored cruiser.

Something with a bit less guns, but still important.

Edit: Added some things to the deck.

I like the big problem I can see is that your hospital ship (and 1912) has TT tubes at the bow and stern :P .

Maybe its a disguised Raider JSB?

ABetterName:
The circles on the lower hull of the ship are submerged torpedo tubes, which as JSB remarks, should not be there on a 'liner'.

Ah, so that's what those are.

I've removed them.

I hadn't commentd so far, but seeing a liner, is more my cup of tea, so to speak.
Your liner looks wrong for a ship of the period. It is too compressed, the superstructure being too uniform, for a liner. Look at the archive for liners of the period, like the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse

or the Laconia

Also note, your lack of llifeboats, derricks, vents and headroom. Some portholes are too close one above the other

I based quite a bit of the design off the Britannic, which is of the time period.

Edit: There would be more lifeboats between the ones visible.

Edit Edit: I'd also like to point out that in this AU, Great Britain does not exist and neither does Titanic, so the requirement to have enough lifeboats for all passengers was never made.

note that you also have no machinery on board, as your aft funnel is directly on top of where the engines are. if it is an dummy funnel, IIRC those were only fitted there to improve the balance of the ship, not worsen it?
