APDAF, that ship is meant to be an early dreadnought, right?
the first thing I want to say: you'll most likely have to lose the foremost turret.

nowhere. just lose it if you want an config like the HMS Dreadnought, you have 5 turrets (1 forward, 2 to the sides, 2 stern) and if you want the early german config you have 6 (1 forward, 1 aft, 2 on each side....)

worse.
the problem with the gun placement is that the bow is too short (you have no space for the equipment of the anchor, the forward turret will get wet etc...)
and that that 2nd turret is useless, except during broadside battles. this arrangement could work a few years later, when the superfiring turrets were introduced.
the simple solution is removing the forwardmost turret and moving the second one a bit to the front (only a bit) or rearranging the turrets along the german model.

Still ain't going to work, that forward turret's advantage of extra guns is negated by the disadvantage of the second gun's lack of space and the first gun's effect on sea worthiness and tiny magazine
