Question

Would five triple 15-inch turrets be overkill on an emergency battleship built from a G3 hull?

Short answer

No, not if the turrets can be fitted and the complete design remains viable.

Notes

The audience proposes an emergency battleship based on the 1919 G3 hull and armed with five triple 15-inch turrets. The gun count is not inherently excessive if the turrets fit and the resulting design remains viable. Physical integration and the success of the complete ship matter more than the number of guns alone.
