I'm not convinced that, with the resources available in T2K, it would be feasible to remove a bigger gun from a ship and adapt it for use on land.
In the UK, though, it's a moot point. The Royal Navy haven't had cruisers or battleships for some years. The last cruiser (
HMS Blake) was decommissioned in 1979, the last battleship (
HMS Vanguard) in 1960.
