Much better. But now she's pretty much a CDS, which the Navy rejected when they went with Deutchland. Of course, they were supposed to be able to fight off cruisers and run from battleships, the "Hood", "Renown's" and "Kongo's" were supposidly the only ships they needed to fear. And we know how well that turned out...
