What's this?

Hmmm, aft turrets not midship aligned. German Königsberg-class cruiser


Below deck arrangement forced this?

Changes/helps field of fire azimuth?

Some late screwed on design to upgun and breakout of versaille treaty?

Other?

Have to admit, first ive ever noticed such an arrangement on main battery.
