That's an 800 mm gun you're looking at. Most heavy cruisers were armed with 203 mm guns. Battlecruisers and many battleships had no more than 356 mm. The KGV class battleships of Britain were eventually fitted out with US made 406 mm guns and those were the biggest the Allies used. Even Japan's
I.J.S. Musashi and
I.J.S. Yamato, the biggest battleships ever to sail the seas, were equipped with no more than 457 mm guns.
