>They were intended from the start to be capable of upgrading to 15 in guns.
Yes and no. Like yes, they had this possibility in mind from the beginning, but it's not like it would have been a plug and play kind of thing. For once, conversion would have required leghtening the bow to deal with the heavier turrets. in fact i believe conversion work was extimated to last something around two years, which is why it was never attempted. At some points they even considered selling the 380 turrets (which WERE built) to the soviets, who had an even more half baked idea of useing then for their kronstadt class battlecruisers.
