That is a semi-dreadonught I think

Nice AU Jabba!

Nice designs. Keep it up!

Interesting dreadnought design. No torpedo tubes? She looks to be of the time period where torpedo craze sweeped the navies and every ship had torpedoes, whether they needed them or not.

Having the 9" guns superfiring over the forward main battery seems like a semi-dreadnaught, late pre-dreadnaught era?

Interesting AU Jabba, but my only comment concerns the navy's composition. A small island nation (like this one here) probably will not have the funds and manpower for a battleship, let alone two of them. I would make the navy of small craft, such as destroyers and cruisers, maybe an armored cruiser (like the RN County class-the WW1 type, or the Black Prince class) as a flagship, and later a treaty 8" gunned cruiser to fit that role. Submarines and fast attack craft were usually the mainstay of small fleets, so these will come in handy here as well.
That apart, the drawings are nice and very good looking.

Cheers mate! I think as the majority of my real-life drawings have been dreadnought-era ships of the RN, my drawing style has been influenced somewhat!
Good point, it wouldn't hurt to put in a couple of hull-mounted tubes.
Yes, correct. It is dreadnought era, but a non/semi-dreadnought design. I'm thinking the nation came late to the party when it came to battleship design. More 'modern' design of the ship with regards to hull and weapons layout, but mixed armament.
