OK, math whizzes--> heli-battleship concept-- 16inch guns as on Iowa-Class WWII

Most likely, yes. It would probably cause the ship to either roll or severely stress the hull where the turret barbettes support the gun mount. All in all, not a "good thing". Though it probably makes as much sense as the 5" naval gun armed Orion battleship once proposed.
