Impressive But why not clear some space on the stern for the catapult (and crane) - it would certainly make operations easier. At present you haven't any means of recovery once the flying boat is launched.

Awesome work Alex. The ship has so much in common with Japanese WW2 warships, like the 'Pagoda' like bridge, and secondary armament. Truely amazing work.

Mon Deiu.
My only real complaint is that C-turret cannot fire forward at high elevation (the barrels being fouled by B-turret overhang). This would be nice to have. Otherwise, I'd try to minimize the number of ~20mm in favor of as many ~40mm mounts as possible. Or, hell, drop the ~155mm secondaries. You've got too many damned calibers floating around. And yeah, I might move the catapult and aircraft handling aft.
Still a beautiful piece of work. I'm a bit jealous of your persistence.
