Depends on which treaty we're talking about(Washington or London) and the time of the design, I'd say, but I doubt they would go with 12" artillery on a battleship unless it was intended to be more a cruiser killer than a capital ship for the line of battle. Of the two, I would vote for the 16", but otherwise, maybe consider going with 15" or 14".

I would suggest making it longer, the turrets are huge and look like triples.

i'm trying to keep her a similar Length to the nelson class and the turrets are twins turrets, and triples turrets would add too much weight.
and would Break the Displacement limit of the washington naval treaty.

Well, in general, triples even reduce weight.
I mean, 8 guns in 4 twin turrets weight much more than 9 guns in 3 triples. So if you want to keep the threaty limit I'd suggest you to use triple turrets.

thanks but i think keep the twins turrets like the Colorado class, is a Displacement of 33,666 tons to light for her or or should she be heavier.

The bow looks kinda short to me for some reason...guess I'm just used to battleships with long, sweeping lines or something. :lol: Still, nice work thus far!

I suggest you to use the SpringSharp to calculate displacement and other interesting things.
