  1. The problem was the weight of broadside. Scharnhorst's was 6552 lbs. By comparison, Renown's was 11628 lbs, Duke of York's 15900 lbs, Nelson's 18432 lbs, and North Carolina's 24300 lbs.

  2. Two heavy cruisers and six destroyers facing 5 destroyers was hardly a clash of equal or superior forces. Even when two British light cruisers arrived later on, the Germans were still the superior force, at least in material terms.

  3. 350 mm. Bismarck's was 320 mm. By comparison, Rodney's was 356mm, as was the KGVs. The Iowas were 307 mm, and the South Dakotas 310 mm.
