"So a FBB then?"

Well yeah, the 16"/50 Mk7 was mounted on the Iowa-class Battleship, which was a FBB in that they were designed to make 27 knots. In KanColle terms though, the Iowa-class should be a FBB by class, but with attack power equivalent to or slightly higher than Nagato.

The real question is probably just which of them it is. Iowa, New Jersey, Missouri or Wisconsin. That's assuming no paper ships and that the 'ship related to the equipment' line isn't also hinting the ships that used the predecessor Mark 6 guns used on the North Carolina & South Dakota classes. Iowa or Missouri seem most likely and my money is on Missouri.

I also suspect when they implement her properly they'll add a mechanic which allows you to do artillery spotting with a radar instead of a floatplane when used in combination with the Mark 7 guns. Those guns had fire control computers which were able to use radar data which is one of the reasons her guns were much more accurate than the IJN's equivalent BBs.
