  1. Even with the choice of VTE power, they still could've gotten an 8-gun broadside with 8 guns rather than 12 if they'd used superfiring B and X turrets to fit four turrets on the centerline in the length forwards and aft of the amidships machinery, as the Americans demonstrated with the South Carolinas, so why did the Germans go for the hexagonal layout instead?

  2. Interesting; I'd heard that the U.S. love for VTE-powered dreadnoughts was because they were so much more fuel-efficient than direct-drive turbines (important when you have to be able to steam across the Pacific).
