Yes. I wamt to discuss her characteristics before I start drawing.

Second calculation, with lower aft deck, gun layout like cruiser Tre Kronor.

200 rounds per every 42cm gun sound a lot. Hod does it all fit?

the turrets look similar to british design, to be more precise, they look a lot like Lion's/KGV's turrets. They are also too small/light for 42cm turrets, in my opinion. The guns itself should be widened by 1 pixel.
