a little bonus: Here is IJN tone as initially designed, with 4 triple 6-inch guns on the forecastle, with japan withdrawal from treaty limitations the ships was quickly redesigned and the barbette reworked to house Type 3 8-inch turrets without the need to modify them like it was done on Mogami. htt...
Thanks Mike, might i kindly ask you to link it only? because this page (the first post mainly) will be filled with my drawings as i complete them, so once finished the page might be a bit slow to load given the dimension of you pic added to that of Emperor and the 7 drawings i will do.
