  1. Well on the upgrading guns question probably some question as to whether you only consider a ship completed with original guns or designed for something else then changed before built... Obviously the NC class were designed for quad 14s they never got. The CO class were literally TN class except with twin 16s instead of triple 14s, but they were built with 16s they didn't pull 14s off of TN class to turn them into Colorado's the on paper Bismarck before it was ever actually started was going to be actually treaty compliant with 350 mm guns till Japan rejected the London treaty and the whole design got scaled up to 380 mm guns but it was literally still on paper not a ship In WWI the Germans considered a better armament for the König class, but they were too far into construction and had the barbettes in so 350mm mackensen guns with 1 less barbette wasn't an option

  2. On your Lexington class get X weight from dropping a turret assessment the Lexington class as planned had 9" barbette and 11" turret face. Idk whether you are using a Lexington thickness for the calculation or something more inline with what they are trying to armour up to type thickness but either way interesting to hear about
