Same issues with the Hood but I would add that there are not enough space for the engines except if the reactor and the steam turbines are separated by the aft turret and unnecessary large secondary calibre gun (which again too located in a large turret and long barrel)

As I've said, same issues as I've written with the other designs including Hood.

Interesting, going way back to pre-dreadnought days I see, multiple caliber main guns added nothing to a design as having that many magazines means having more weight for little gain, or so the idea went.  I kinda like the design myself, call them heavy secondarys for precision bombardment maybe?

Not necessary as the secondary guns were not meant to fight the capital ship but against the smaller vessels for which the main guns are too large and slow to follow. Yamato's 155mm guns were meant against destroyers and cruisers, so does the 152mm guns of the Bismarck and Littorio classes etc.

the Bismark had 155MM  or 150MM Cannon and 105MM Cannon 152MM is an Eastern Caliber

6inch equals 152mm.
These countries used this calibre:
Great Britain
United States of America
Japan
France
Italy
Russia
Netherlands
Sweden
Spain
Argentina
Chile
Brazil

And Bismarck was armed with 380mm,149mm, 105mm, 37mm and 20mm guns
These makes your argument invalid

No NATO uses 155MM rounds Russia and some others use 152MM and some NATO Members but the UK or USA France Italy and Japan also use 155MM so does Spain and Sweden

Multiple calibers also added to the gunner's confusion, as the splashes looked similar at long distances.

True, but with more modern weapons, you could probably have a GPS tracker on each shell. Then you know exactly where it lands.
