BB-76-1 Battleship design study

This ship is completely my brainchild for my naval fiction, built against the japanese Super-Yamatos and dream battleships. Radical new features: torpedo shaped bulbous bow, all four shafts in skegs, 2 aircraft handling cranes (as on Baltimore class CAs), 4 sponsons on the stern for 40mm AA, 12 X 2 5"/54 Mark 16 secondary battery. Main battery is 4 X 3 18"/47 Mark A; armour against 18" super-heavy shells between 18-32 kyards.
