Ahoj!
The location of the stacks makes me think of a T-B-B-T arrangement of the power plant, or at least B-B-T-T.

It's probably the former - the lengthening gives me a little more space. Nassau had her second funnel on the forward infrastructure

Here's a good place to put this - just finished drawing the Torgud Reis class.



It's difficult to show, but the single 11" side turrets are supposed to be capable of angling forwards just enough that they can almost fire directly forward. They can't quite make a 90 degree turn without bumping into superstructure, but they can make it roughly 75. They're sponsoned out slightly for this.

Ahoj!
If sponsoned I see no problems with on-end fire ... you'll just need to replace bull's eyes and doors after a battle ...

The point is, it can be replaced.. better that stuff get blown up by us than them anyways  ;)

And it's a good way to get the captains use the CT instead of the bridge.

After the first salvo dead ahead, anyone on the bridge will beg for a place in the conning tower.
