You ever look back at an old design and go "What was I doing with this?"

Dauntless class, ANZAC Light Battlecruiser laid down 1935

Actually, since I have some designs like this, I know what you were doing.
It's got an extremely long range, and a high speed in all seaways.
She decisively outguns any treaty cruiser while being immune to return fire.
The 16ft high end belts make her immune to HE or SAP hits, meaning any hit will be AP and will make an entry hole that's pretty easy to plug.
The deck is more than enough for any 1930s bomb, as is the TDS.

Anything short of a full 35000+ battleship can't stop her. The extra protection means she's hard to slow down or cripple without a full battleship.
Raiding, cruiser killing, tip and run, carrier guard - she can do it all, and you can afford 3 for every 2 Treaty BBs.
My versions had quad 2T4 9.4" and were a little slimmer, but I was looking at such as my "Low" BBs for my WesWorld Dutch. I figured I could field a Division of 45,000 ton 8x17" BBs, with a bunch of my version to round out the battleline. Wasn't sure I wanted to commit to that though, just something I had been exploring.
