Uh??

No no. It was designed to:

1. being able to pass the panama canal.
2. to be able to escort carriers (speed wise).

PS: a small correction on your words, its Yamato and its a battleship.
Dreadnaught designation was use to large warships with heavy primary guns in turrets and light secondaries (5.5"-6") and minimal AAA.
