The main upgunning example is probably the Japanese converting 6" cruisers to 8" turrets after leaving the Washington Naval treaties in the 1930s. But they also had that in mind when they designed them. The Mikasa was also regunned in 1906-07 to carry a 12" 45-cal instead of a 12" 40-cal. But sort of the exception that proves the rule since the Mikasa was being extensively rebuilt after a magazine explosion sank her at her mooring in September of 1905. There's also the planned conversion for Scharnhorst and Gneisenau to 15" guns.
