Nik -

you don't by chance have any idea of how many 15" guns the RN had in reserve, also were the entire turrents salvaged or did Vanguard use a new turrent design?

Terminus in your mod you have the Lion class being built in 1937 in lieu of the KGV class.  Historically when exactly did the design of the Lion class take place?  I want to hash out a timeline since the Vanguard was a relative of the Lion Class.


A number of Vanguard materials say that the guns were from Glorious and Courageous - beached when they became carriers - and a perfect fit - that there we no other such guns. All the "extra" guns had been fitted to monitors.

Back to the IJN has anyone done a Number 13 class?  I think the poster's name is BigB, if I have name right he has done some extraordinary artwork, in terms of his Tosa and Amagi class.
