Thanks for the input Krakatoa, I'll make adjustments. As to the center turret, many vessels had that style of set up that allowed for it, why not this one?
To my knowledge, no fast battleship ever shipped a center turret. A cruiser has much more serious power demands than a pokey 21-knot 1915 battleship.
Thank you, that makes sense.

I dont know if if counts but the G3/N3 designs all had a center mounted turret. Apart from that the closest we get is the Kii/Tosa/Amagi designs.

Fair. I should say, none with both a center and aft main battery.

The point remains the same, of course - machinery and battery cannot inhabit the same volume below decks.

Its not really centre on G3 the engines are all behind it, just the bridge is between the 2 and 3rd forward mount?
