Vickers Export Design 292 for Argentina

This is the last even numbered design in the series, where I've taken the Dreadnought / Bellerophon / St. Vincent's turret layout as a basis and replaced the aft turrets with triple ones, increasing the broadside firepower to 10 cannons while maintain good end on fire.

The design had the following characteristics:
Dimensions: unknown probably 153,62 (pp) 162,25 (wl) x 24,38 x 7,62m
Displacement: unknown, around 20.000tons (standard)
Armour: unknown probably 38-42mm Deck, 229-254mm Belt
Engines: unknown around 21-24.000shp, steam turbines, 4 shafts
Speed: 39km/h (21knots)
Armaments:
2x3, 3x2 12"/45 (305mm/45) Vickers Mk B Cannons,
24x1 4,7"/50 (120mm/50) Vickers Mk A Guns,
4x1 457mm Underwater Torpedo Tubes
