Design an RN warship

I'm always reminded of those overblown starships designed by Star Trek fanboys (20 miles long! 500 quantum torpedo launchers!) so I figured I'd throw my two cents in.

Ship Name: HMS Tusk
Ship Type: Enhanced Combat Missile Dreadnought
Displacement: 95,000 tons
Length: 345 m.
Beam: 37 m.
Depth: 2.7 m. (for sneaking into enemy harbours)
Armament: Six electromagnetic Shkval torpedo launchers, 10 150 mm plasma rail guns, 8 laser-directed anti-missile machine guns, 128 SAMRAAM surface-to-air missiles, 24 stealthy anti-ship missiles with nuclear warheads
Propulsion: Environmentally-friendly magnetohydrodynamic drive with silent diesal afterburners. Six aquapump jets for added maneuverability.
Top speed: 46 knots
Crew: 95 men and 45 women
Estimated Cost: 95 million pounds
