Have any one heard of this Hexathedral Assault Citadel and if so could provide me a link and picture?
No fucking clue.
Also which of these ships is more powerful: Battle barge, Emperor Class, Apocalypse Class, or Retribution Class?
The Emperor class is the biggest and IIRC most powerful, especially with its substnatial carrier capacity, though the bulk of its firepower is in weapons batteries. Its slow as fuck though.
the Apocalypse is a Retribution predecessor/variant, but has better tech allowing it to field more lances than a Retribution, which gives it an edge in some respects, so I'd say its probably better than the REtribution too.
"Battle BargeS" are hard to fit into that list because there is no one single design for a battle barge. "Battle Barge" is less a distinct class than it is a term to indicate a Space Marine's battleship analogue. They can take many different configurations and their armaments (and thus firepower) can also differ. Some ChapterS (like the Space WolveS) field Battle Barges which are really just captured warships, or literal battelships held over from the past. Some Chapters will also use battleships as a battle barge as well, while others have their own "barges" built to their own desired specifications (or may build them themselves..)
In general they're probably equal to any battleship the Imperium could field, although there could be some Battle Barges that are bigger or more powerful. Though alot of their armament will be projectile weapons (like bombardment cannons, as well as projectile weapons batteries) because of their planetary assault role, and this limits their effective range. (Though a fair number of Barges do mount lancecs as well.) Barges also tend to be significantly tougher (better armoured/shielded) than a conventional battleship, but also lack significant fighter forces or manuverability.
Also are they all around 19 klicks long?
The classes you mentioned? No. Most battleships are around 6-7 km long as far as I know, the bigger ones like the Emperor might be a bit bigger, and I've heard some battle barges could get up to 12 km long or so.
That said they DO have some kind of 20 km long ship, but we dont know what kind of ship it is or its purpose, aside from the fact its used in offensive roles (at least in s upportting grorund assault.) The AdMech have 10-11 mile long warships as well for conveying their own ground forces.
Lastly what is the single most powerful weapon can fielded by the Imperial Navy?
Your answers will be appreciated.

Outside of Exterimnatus grade weaponry like cyclonic torepdoes, (which are not, strictly speaking, ship to ship weapons) that would be the nova cannon. (A big axial near-c projectile-launching cannon.)
