Keep it on. Extra armor against torpedoes!
Just need to sort out the propulsion aspects. My NCD consultants say jet engines are a great idea, as they existed in 1944.

Catamaran hulls are adjacent, not concentric.

Trimaran?

I guess it doesn't matter. What matters is getting giant jets on that dry-dock pronto!

Trimarans don't have concentric hulls either, but yes, let's not lose focus of what's important here: Jets on battleships.

And lasers! The first laserjet!

Jets on battleships.

They have them already, they're call aircraft carriers...
