3 things of importance are, Availability, Year, and Deck gun size.

My only objection to that would be that the smallest warship to carry belt armor was the light cruiser, and then your 3.46" (8.8cm) deck gun is facing at least six 6" guns, fired from a ship with an actual gun director.

Not me, thanks.:dead:
