That's correct - but the battle cruiser build was halted when the was 28% complete, and thus the design could be altered well before she was an actual battleship (

That being said, her hull was later modified for improved stability - this modification will become clear during this build.
This version by the way is the configuration from 1945, with camouflage colours.
