Historical oil production is limited to Borneo/Java/Sumatra. Other oil fields - like those on Swiss owned islands- are marginal and came to production later (read: after the 1950s).

I thought Tarakan was more important, apparently not.

One thing I would be concerned about is the added weight of the longer calibre main guns, will they still fit or will they cause the ship to heel when they're trained out? IIRC both the Spanish and Japanese historically found this out the hard way (although with original equipment guns!)...

The turrets have been modified... counterweights have been bolted to the rear of the turrets to account for the increase in weight. This is accounted for in the addition of an insane amount of Misc weight.
