What do you do when those pesky treaties forbid you from building more battleships? You just stretch your existing cruisers and stick as many platforms as possible onto the masts, of course.

Its kind of like the Fuso, just a little bit more extreme.

Top platform is around 136 feet above sea level, by the way.

Super Fuso, Cruiser that is totally not a battleship laid down
