run 16"L and don't use deck armor. a 32 knot anything in GB2 = instant death... you could
have 15" deck and Still suck.

0,2 Deck
0,2 Belt OR go for 1,5 Belt for max resistance(torps splash)
as meny Buldge you can get on without losing 1 knot...
0,2 Bulk

thats how I ran my Nelly...
mind you my crew was at lvl...and I was still going oround 39ish knots...

all so 2 hiting a Monty using 16'' guns is a joy(all shells hiting, luck salvos)

eather way, AWed Nelly isen't that effective anymore so :/, don't AW.

cheers

to reach 40knt i need good support crew..

For general speedwhore setup put on 0.2 belt, 0 or 4 bulkhead, and put the rest on bulge
as long as you don't lose speed over it.

For armorwhore setup make sure you put on at least 7" deck to bounce max-angle BB3/PBB
shells, although 8.3~9.0" deck is recommended to bounce max-angle BB4 shells.

are you talking about quad Ns? or Ls? If quad Ns then i use no armor with 3 trips and go
40 knots. I like that setup the best. Fast and you can one or two shot most people. With 2
quads i go 44 knots i believe without any armor. Depends if you want to be fast or not.
Some people cant handle quads with really high speeds.
