I doubt that you can squeeze one more sixteen inch turret within the space of ten feet compared to Iowa.
He can, but he must the cut severely down on armor and engine. That means she will have a bad protection, and a low speed. that would be funny
I believe I would have to disagree as there have been other 4 turret battleships which had good protection and good speed, the Bismarcks being an example of that. Another would be the started but cancelled South Dakota class (BB-49 through 54). They had 4 triple 16 inch turrets. Yes, they had a slow speed of 23 knots, but I have a considerable size advantage over them (900' to 684'). So, I don't believe this to be an unworkable design. *shrug* Not everything is the USS Iowa.
Also, I don't know if you saw where I posted they are not all triples. It is two triples and two twins superfiring.
