Rearming a Danton with twelve-inch wing guns

Would a Danton derivative with single twelve-inch guns in the wing positions be worth building before the Courbet class?

It is judged better than nothing, but stronger alternatives and the difficulty of obtaining French approval limit the proposal.

A game representation introduces an idea to replace Danton's twin ten-inch wing mountings with single twelve-inch guns. As an intermediate design before Courbet, it is judged better than nothing. Better alternatives are nevertheless considered available. Obtaining approval from the French government would create another obstacle, alongside the complaint that promising French capital-ship ideas often arrived several years too late.
