SO FAR! AND actually hoping for more of the same!

THAT is a video so technical I'm going to have to rewatch it. When I saw it & started it I had just woke up. And it took a bit for my brain to get acquainted with what I was listening to. It makes me wonder if we have video of these systems actually being used in the past. And I am constantly amazed at how much intelligence goes into making these systems long before actual computer systems were developed. And thought it rather hilarious that modern computers couldn't withstand the shock of the 16" guns being fired. But the fact that they were able to build a machine that could make these calculations and arrive at where the target is going to be when the shells arrive down range almost a minute after they are fired has always been impressive to me. And although the target ship can change course when they see a muzzle flash of the guns firing, if they do so, they will be throwing away their current fire control data & starting over. And considering the spread you get with 9 battleship guns firing, even a small change in course may not throw off the gunnery of the opposing ship. Let's face it, HMS Hood not only did this but did it in a way that would open a firing angle for its aft turret. But in doing so suffered a hit detonating her aft 15" magazine. However, that being said we are not sure if the turn had started and/or how far into the turn Hood was when she exploded. Although Prince of Wales was right behind her POW had to turn to avoid the wreckage of Hood.

☆☆☆ Q & A ☆☆☆☆ Hey Now, I was wondering about something. Comparatively speaking the Royal Navy during WW1 combined with the High Seas Fleet during WW1. NOW, compared to the Royal Navy during WW2 and combined with the US Navy during WW2 let's say right about January of 1945. As far as capital ships who would be heavier? And as far as a battle line action, who would win?
