Did you account for the extra displacement due to the added mass of the engine, hull, & additional armor?

I don't think the SS take in to account that better space in hull can give better performance of the engine.. or to say it an different way. more space - better layout of engine - more power pr. hp! (theory is one thing, real world...)
the shp comes from the boilers and turbines, what has the arrangement to do with it?

I was thinking about and more effective layout of the Engineering, steam loos it's effect thus longer it have to travel. or something like that.

Yes (athough, technically it is springsharp that calculated that for me).
