Why not make her 1000ton larger and get a ship with 8x30cm guns (and having the same speed and armour)?
I fear a ship such as this will be obsolete before she is finished.
A scheme I developed for France, as a replacement for the Terrible class, unfortunately the UNK has no spare capacity at the moment.

*Orange ship designer is confused*
*Orange designer starts drawing up a battlecruiser*
The original design is, to be honest, less insane than I had expected. I am mildly disappointed.
I'm with P3D on battlecruisers.
The Orange proposal for the rebuild of the Gloire. Complete one, from keel up, keeping nameplate and anchor. Main requirement was that it should look like the original ship on paper if possible (same length and beam, overall layout). So two turrets with 275mm guns, but they would be triples (mounts to be developed by France) as 4 guns are not deemed adequate. 4 more 140mm guns in armored casemates, in exchange for the 47mm guns.
After it became public that the ships were sunk by torpedoes, the costumer insisted on torpedo protection. It could not be helped.

A bit of advice, the main armaments is better simmed as 3x3 distributed on the centreline.
Springsharp does strange things with the weight when you put is in different slots, and it adds extra ammo to each of the weapons slots after the first one.

You do not want to fire broadsides? And I guess that it should be three and not two turrets.

Made some changes of the Gloire II version. External dimensions still the same as the old one. Modified the upper armor scheme for full cover. Removed the useless torpedo bulkhead.
Note: the ship has 8 belowdeck casemate guns (fore the midbreak). As the armoredcitadel is covered by the upper belt, the secondary armor for those guns is counted twice (upper belt 'lowered' to reflect this 100t difference).
The ship will be launched next year, then delivered to Italy where the triple 11" turrets will be installed. They cost is 0.8BP and $1.6.
