A New King Sets Sail

So, as stated in the forum that I keep referencing, y'know the one with all the warships I've built, work had been going (admittedly pretty slow) towards a new battleship that actually would fit the standard sizes of one!
This new class of battleship I've been working on-and-off for the past few weeks is designated the O.09a(BB), but has yet to recieve a full class name.
Here's the first picture of it that I've revealed on the NRPSP server;

As you can tell, its a pretty large ship, something around 716ft in length. an average-sized big girl

I've got a small number more of screenshots that have been cropped that'll fit into my question about it!


Here's the B (and by extension A) turret thats mounting two 406 mm/50 B-37 Pattern 1937 cannons (which were licensed from the Soviet Union in NRPSP).


Front and rear view of the O.09a class, with A and B turret installed. The superstructure is still being built at this moment.

Now, relating to the above picture, I'm a bit torn between three ideas;
1. Mount two more turrets to have it "symmetrical"
2. Mount a number of significantly smaller turrets and AA Platforms
3. Install a runway catapult for light biplanes and autogyros (has the option of being partially paired with 2)

I'd like to hear what people would think is the best idea for this ship, and make it more unique from other 1930's battleships!

    The superstructure is already built into the center of the hull, so a Nelson-like design would require a bit of reworking.
    Though, I'd take the suggestion into consideration.

    I would make it almost like the British Nelson-class battleship, but add a fourth turret in the rear.
