No. Just NO. Fast BBs are true battleships that didn't sacrifice anything for speed. Battlecruisers, by definition, sacrificed armor (British) or firepower (Germany) in order to be faster than contemporary battleships. Iowa, Bismarck, the Italian duo, these were all true battleships, fully armed and armored and still capable of high speeds. The Kongous started out as battlecruisers, but were extensively refitted during the interwar period and were rerated as fast battleships. (even then, they were still underarmored, but still, the Japanese considered them battleships after the refits.)

Gangut was a pre-WWI design, and I have no clue what the devs were thinking about her status in game. She wasn't fast for her time, and obsolete by WWII standards
