If we want to keep our putative
"obsolescent battlecruiser" smaller than a canon
dreadnought, then ~150Kdton is better.
I really don't see what the
author wanted with a million displacement ton vessel. Even
if we figure the fighters at 20 dtons (heavy fighters rather
then basic light ones), hanger space for three hundred would
still run less than a 1Kdton. Maybe it was supposed to be
both a fighter carrier and a fleet
tanker? --

The heavy fighters the Tigress carried were 50dtons, as I recall.
That would take up a little more space.
Using the CT HGv2 construction rules plus J4 capability, there was a break-point (some where 'tween 500-600kDT where I used to have trouble using up all the space. So, I went to a J5 design and I believe that at J6 even a 1Mdt design couldn't have everything.
Now, according to canon, there was a time when BB's carried not only fighters but also armies.
Maybe that ship was was built around a salvaged old-time Tri-cap BB?
