Description
The most heavily armed among the Kongo Replacement designs. This version feature an outstanding 12x 410mm cannons in three quadruple turrets! This extensive armament was came at a cost as this proposal was the slowest of them all, as well the most lightly armoured as well! A truly Japanese warship, sacrificing protection for armament.The design had the following characteristics:
Dimensions: 231,65 (wl) x 32 x 9,14 m
Displacement: 35.000tons (standard)
Armour: 318mm Belt at 20degrees incline, 229mm Slopes and 178mm Deck
Engines: Unknown, probably around 52.000shp, 2-4 shafts
Speed: 43km/h (23knots)
Armaments:
3x4 410mm/50 Type 90 Cannons
4x2,8x1 140mm/55 Type 88 Guns (No info on actual number and layout)
4x2 12cm/45 10th Year Type DP-AA Guns
4x1 40mm Type HI AA guns (I've added it to the design)
2x1 61cm Underwater Torpedo Tubes
2-3x Seaplanes (Nakajima E4N)
The various proposals can be found in this list:

My suggestion for names of these ships are:
IJN Iwami IJN Higo
IJN Sagami IJN Suwo
