I'm also dubious that the barbettes were 8", or the casement faces 1". According to Conways, while designed for 16 x 6", they were resited during construction and 4 aft dropped, while 2 added, so 14 as built- the last two appear to be decklevel casements
Armour wise I'm basically going off what James sent me in his sim which appears to build on what Gravina posted in the UK section, 8".
I'm also NOT aiming for a 50% refit as there is the addition of bulges but no modifications to the TDS.
Hopefully all the bugs are now out of the design....
