Truly "modernized" dreadnoughts?

[Peksern]

I've got another proposal, which kinda "annoys" me every single time, when I come to this point in campaign.

Hhistorically the modernized dreadnoughts were older battleships that were actually modernized. In the game however the old ones remain old, both in stats and perhaps even more important in design, while the players are considered to build new ones, that are called "modernized" (even though they were just built)

Therefore, I would suggest perhaps as a replacement or in addition to the modernized hulls, adding a technology that allows the modern components (turrets and funnels) to be placed on the older dreadnoughts as well. These could then be appropriately modernized - following the historical example of the US Navy in particular.

Would that maybe be possible? Or are there reasons why it's not?

Well, it should be possible by adding more tower variants to the old hull as time and technology progresses. That would indeed a great thing to have
