Also I'm still biased against quad turrets, especially for 15in guns. Sounds like asking for trouble like PoW and KGV. When you need them most they could fail. Rather go for the tried and tested triple myself.

Optimizing for deck penetration means the shooter can be in many more places relative to the target. High velocity 380mm guns will have a tough time getting through 15cm+ decks at reasonable ranges.
