16"/50 Mark 2
6"/53 Mark 12
3"/50 Mark 10
Captain's M1921 Thompson
12x Vought VE-7 (seaplane variant)

30 knots at 120,000 shp on half power (all betweendeck boilers knocked out)
35.4 knots at 220,000 shp on full power
Ignore citadel warnings, the citadel size is fine. Half the boilers are above the armoured deck.
Citadel contains magazines, 120,000 shp of boilers. 540' only is required for this.
Above-citadel boilers provide additional 100,000 shp.
Below-deck machinery space is adequate.

Misc weight:
100t - 4x heavy cranes
80t - 4x rotating gunpowder catapults amidships
80t - 4x floatplanes on cats
80t - 4x floatplanes on deck
200t - 4x floatplane hangar below aft deck
