Vittorio Cuniberti's 1899 all 8" gun cruiser

Starting in 1899, Vittorio Cuniberti began design work on a warship armed with a uniform battery of twelve 8-inch (203 mm) guns, armored with 6 in (150 mm) thick belt armor, and capable of a top speed of 22 knots (41 km/h; 25 mph), on a displacement of 8,000 long tons (8,100 t).


What layout were the guns in?
Presumably the standard double diamond - six dual turrets, one on bow, one on stern, and two per each broadside.
