US was the first to do it OTL. Late 1944 early 1945 if I'm not mistaken. So I guess that WW RN can have that sort of turret by 1943.

ISD was 1948, though pushed back by the end of the war a bit. Personally I much prefer the RN's 6"/50 QF - much easier to fit onto ships and useful against aircraft. The 8" is only really necessary against heavily armoured ships - though even 3" automatic fire is going to make a real mess of most ships. One of the most interesting was the RN's 5.25"/50 QF Mk III for some late war AA cruisers with a 24rpm rate of fire.

I think the 6in will be the better automatic choice for future cruisers for a DP role. I just hope to debug it a little more than OTL before 1948. Something like Neptune would be good for the RN as a cruiser killer.
I don't think the fad for 10in armed cruisers will outlive the early 1940s myself. Like the solutions to the OTL Sverdlovs the answer came from things dropped from aircraft to attack via above and underwater.
