A captured Richelieu could physically accept the game's German conversion

How implausible is the game's Friedrich Carl, a German conversion of a captured Richelieu-class battleship?

The scenario is fictional, but the triple 16-inch turrets and revised German secondary battery appear physically feasible on the French hull.

The World of Warships design imagines Germany capturing a Richelieu-class battleship and completing it as Friedrich Carl. Replacing the French quadruple 15-inch turrets with German triple 16-inch mounts is considered physically plausible because the new arrangement uses fewer guns and German breeches would require more room. Substituting German 150 mm secondary weapons would demand a new layout, but the panel sees no obvious spatial barrier. The assessment concerns whether the fictional conversion could fit, rather than evidence that Germany planned such a ship.
