This is a design I 3D modeled about a year ago, the hull is obviously not how I want it exactly but it worked for the concept and would be changed

tri-barrel 16.2in main turrets:

Turret 1 and 2 would be in centerline super-firing arrangement and turret 7 would be sitting on a deck below the main (can’t remember the actual term), turret 6 would sit on the main deck super-firing over 7, and turret 5 would be situated on a barbette built into the aft superstructure and super-firing over turret 6.

Duel-barrel 12in secondary turrets ( 7 per side inning the superstructure)

Quad-barrel 88mm bofar turrets (6 per side)

Quad torpedo tubes 2 below the waterline at the center and 1 set to the aft. All below the waterline

4 four-bladed props turned by steam turbines and boilers burning fuel oil

1 large central rudder with 2 smaller rudders mounted between the outboard and inboard props within the prop-wash. Two outboard rudders would have skegs for protection while the center is attached to the hull.

Philadelphia- class super dreadnaught style hull built to a size to accommodate the battery (specifically meeting the rough shape of the USS Arizona after her 1940-1941 refit but longer and with a wider fantail to accommodate the outboard rudders and their skegs)

Forward tower would be like the Iowa Class’ but would still have the forward and aft tripod masts with the structure on top.

Any life boats, cranes, floats, etc. would be stored wherever there’s room.

If any of yall have any suggestions or comments or anything, feel free to speak. I want all the feedback good or bad

So they had to put metal in me but we still winning

So I made a 3D model in Tinkercad a few months back and wanted to see if anyone else questions the possibility of it. If so, what guns woudl work best for scaling?

The main guns would all be 16in on all 7 tri-barrel turrets, I don’t have a side view of it yet, tho.

I’ve seen this train multiple times but can’t figure out what it is
