Well, supertankers are even bigger - and they are able to move just well.

But not very fast compared to a battleship, you're looking at around 17knots vs around 30knots by the time of WWII.

I was basically on about fuel usage and the ability to tank enough oil on top of the munitions etc required. A real monster of a ship but without a dockyard able to create it, doomed to insignificance.

In primis it was required for its creation a bigger dockyard and resources that probably Japan don't had it. In last video, i suppose they are imagined battleship Zipang refitted with classic aa-battery of ww2 like type 96 gun of 25mm.
 
A very nice target for a carrier group. Hell, that big and lumbering it would have been a nice target for a B-29...
