Question

Could Tirpitz's secondary battery be replaced with 5-inch/54 guns?

Short answer

Yes in principle, but the conversion would require redesigning internal hull spaces.

Notes

Tirpitz's secondary battery is judged to leave enough space for the proposed 5-inch/54 guns. The change would still require rearranging the hull's internal spaces. This is a feasibility judgment without a detailed conversion plan.
