F3 secondary batteries and anti-aircraft additions

A proposed F3 refinement rearranges its 6-inch secondary turrets and adds single 4.7-inch guns for air defense.

Notes

A further F3 revision could improve the 6-inch secondary battery. The suggested layout puts two turrets aft on the centerline and two in wing positions. Single 4.7-inch guns could add air defense. These are proposed changes within the counterfactual design, judged unlikely to alter its basic characteristics substantially.
