TzoliA sort of fleet carrier for the Earth Defense Forces based on the Kongo class battleships.
The basic hull is the same as of the Kongo, the upper part is redone due to the addition of the full length flight deck so part of the missile and torpedo armament got removed, basically halved as only the lower part of the launchers that remained so does the bow mounted shock cannon.
The Bussard collector / Tachyon intake section moved much forward and made deeper to act as a landing hanger for spacecrafts.
The wings size got changed especially the nose ones and the horizontal aft ones. The aft upper and the forward nose vertical ones got removed due to the flight deck
The aft lower vertical one moved forward so it would not interfere with the aft lower spacecraft recovery area.
The original upper structure got elragad mostly vertically but a bit by width as well to act as a launching/preparation and partly recovery hanger. The side doors which was present on the Kongo was retained though moved a bit lower.
As specified the gun armament got changed to 4 twin 254mm beam turrets, placed at the sides while the AA/CIWS blisters got relocated for better coverage. Actually I'm not sure how the guns work in them or in the openings, likely they could elevate a minimum of 90 degrees to provide a better coverage.
This is the pre-Gamillas War version
The design's feature these weapon systems:
1x1 36cm shock cannon
4x2 25cm Positron Beam Turrets,
16x CIWS
4x torpedo tubes,
8 missile tubes
16-20X starfighters, mostly Cosmo Falcons
The second drawing shows a Post Gamilas War refit for the Shokaku class Space carriers, with the usual additions:
Wave-Motion Engine and shield generator replaced the original powerplant and engines.
Extra Sensor equipment were added as well as new AA weapon systems including 4 quad and one twin 127mm Pulse Laser Turrets and 6 twin 76mm Pulse Laser Turrets.
Main Armament got modernized as well: 46cm Bow mounted Shock cannon and 4x2 25cm Twin Shock cannon turrets instead of the old 36cm shock cannon and 25cm Positron Beam Turrets.
