Just refit it and add a bit of miscellaneous weight to it for the radar and other stuff on it during refit (as long as the refit covers that stuff) and then do a minor increase in draught to match the added weight and then decrease freeboard with the same amount as was added to the draught.
I see various times nonsense like "for future growth" or "growth room" in the miscellaneous weights breakdown. I'm pretty sure that the builders of old weren't like "let us put 100 tons of ballast on the design because we can remove some of that in 15 years time so we can fit a radar and other stuff onto the ship when it becomes available." I'm pretty sure that stuff was just added to ships and they ended up becoming a little bit heavier with the extra weight. I think that the "growth room" bit is especially weird. It kind of sounds like "we need this bit of area in the ship clear because 15 years from now we need to put this room in that place that has all this special equipment to detect things."

I mostly use that as a sort of term for "other minor assorted equipment I forgot but shall remember a couple months from now."

The big change comes with the replacement of the superior German 150mm and 88m guns with inferior Russian 130mm and 75mm main guns.

I'm pretty sure that this is how Bruce sees it. :)
