Very interesting design, I really like the look of it. On the other side, wouldn't the aft turrets and turbines be in each others way? The turrets barbettes looks like they are exactly where the tubrines has to be.

These turrets don’t go the deep into the ship, the turbines just have enough room! No worries!

I just don't know - that sounds very stragne... Barbettes under the turrets serves as protection of ammo storages, and these you want deep in the ship because of weight and thus stability problems.

Don't worry though I will take your input in mind! I am making other ships I will give more roam between the turbines and Barbettes.  Unless it is a smaller weapon haha
