Interesting look, but not feasible...she'd be more off-balance than the IJN's Fuso (I still don't know how that ship didn't capsize during a high-speed turn).
Not to be nitpicky, but shouldn't the prop shaft be bronze like the propeller itself? Other than that, great drawing! Are you planning to do the late-war refit version of the class as well?
Went to see her three times during my time in Texas...this drawing certainly does her justice! Excellent work! Hope we see more USN BBs on here soon, especially with the recent plethora of CL / CA drawings around to 'escort' them!

The CB seems like a German version of the Nelson-class...interesting! I do agree with whoever said the CL seems rather top-heavy, though. The DD's not half bad...put the same kind of armament on the stern that is on the bow and she'll be a well-balanced vessel!
