Khoi, DC's superstructure is not "huge", it was just built to a realistic scale (ex. hull length in relation to beam, bridge height in relation to guns, tower height in relation to funnels, etc.). That's why stability will always be compromised in a realistic/replica ship given BSC's hydrodynamics.

This is not the case for your "cruisers". Their scale between length, beam, freeboard and superstructure size is very close to a monitor-type vessel (ex. wide beam in relation to length to accommodate the 46cm guns, small & cramped superstructure, very low bridge, etc.). This is not meant to criticize your designs but to explain the differences in concept.

So obviously Josh prioritized realism over stats with DC. It's not the case of him not knowing how to build a "good, powerful, and good-looking" ship.
