The difference between 1013ts and 1716ts is not only the mass of fuel lines, also it includes drive shafts, shafts, hydraulic clutches, gear boxes, floor plates etc.

I have my figures straight! MI is the machinery power plant, and I always said 3400-3500ts for 110000hp. The MII for the electrical systems is unspecified. Do you want a 3 turret, or 2 or 4 turret...

Just use the bulbous bow found on historic Scharnhorst (add "Atlantic" bow features while you are at it). Transom stern improves top speed because it makes the hull appear longer than it is; but it...
