Description

Soon after the design work on the Yamato class battleships finished and the first ships launched preliminary work was started on what to build which would even surpass these gigantic vessels and with which the gun supremacy over the USN could be maintained within the Peace Goddesses doctrine. While the Yamatos were designed to carry triple 46cm gun turrets with the ability to swap them to twin 51cm ones, the new class should carry these weapons from the beginning.

Details on this design is scarce, different sources tell different information, but what is common:
51cm armed main weaponry
10cm DP-AA guns
Yamato like hull shape
armour protection against own weaponry

What differs among the sources are the number of these guns and the size of the vessel:
possible 27 or 30knots speed
6-8-9 51cm cannons
many but minimum 7-8 twin turrets per side of 10cm DP-AA guns
43-46cm belt armour

This is one of my idea for the A-150 type battleships using the Yamato hull to mount 8 twin 51cm turrets and no secondary turrets.
To provide more space for the main gun turrets as well as for the engines I've slightly moved the turrets forward and lengthened the entire superstructure by a few meters.

My design has the following characteristics:
Dimensions: 244 (pp) 256 (wl) 263 (oa) x 38,9 x 10,75m 
Displacement: 68.000tons (standard), 77.800tons (full load)
Armour: 250mm Deck, 460mm Belt  inclined at 20 degrees
Engines: 165-170.000shp, 4 shafts, Steam Turbines
Speed: 50km/h (27knots)
Range: 13.300km at 30km/h (7.000nm at 16knots)
Armaments: 
4x2 51cm/45 Type 98 Cannons,
16x2 10cm/65 Type 98 DP-AA guns
12x2 40mm/60 Type 5 AA Guns
22x3 25mm/60 Type 96 AA Guns
10x21 120mm Type 5 AA Rockets
7x Seaplanes (Aichi E16A Paul and Mitsubishi F1M Pete planes)
Sensors:
Type 13 air search radar antennaes (two set, both sides on the mainmast)
Type 14 air search radar (one set, on top of the aft range finder)
Type 21 air search radars (two set, on each arms of the main range finder fixed non rotating)
Type 32 surface search radars (two set one on each side of the bridge structure rotating ones)
