I am not certain a modification like this would actually work. Lenghtening the ship by about 40% without modifying the beam, hull depth and main cross section likely leads to an ship that breaks in half in the first storm.

Cargil48, ...

What is there to be said, regarding the project presented here by BB1987?? Never saw such a detailed work... Are your eyes still okay, amico mio??... :D

A 9x15-in. gunned Salmon & Gluckstein? Nice! Can't wait to see Bismarck and Tirpitz and their successors! Would you please be so kind and explain what you mean by Salmon & Gluckstein? Regarding the two bigger capital ships, they will have the same main armament but in four turrets, Anton, Berta, Ca...
