Guided Missile Battleship HMS Vanguard

Description

My Version of how would the HMS Vanguard the last battleship of the Royal Navy would look like if equipped/rebuilt with missiles in the 60's:
The Two forward turrets were not changed:
Two twin 381mm (15 inch) Mark I Cannons
The two aft turrets replaced with two twin Sea Slug Long Range SAM launchers
I've replaced the 133mm (5.25inch) Mark I twin guns with 127mm (5 inch) Mark N1 Twin Guns
I've removed the 10 quad 40mm Bofors AA guns and replaced them with 6 quad Sea Cat Short Range SAM launchers and their radar directors.

Shouldn't they have just kept all four gun turrets and instead have the missiles replace some of the secondaries?
