Always great to see another episode of the Drydock. I was going to comment on the mistake about Montana'a speed but I can see that's already been brought upand answered, so no point to that :) Q&A: You've previously mentioned how if the G3 and N3's had been built, the N3 design would have been less useful in WW2 because of their speed. I would ask how much could that have been raised if they had a rebuild in the mid 30's along the lines of the QE? Since their armour was already very heavy as were the guns all the weight saved by more modern machinery could have been used to boost both the AA suite and higher speed like the Italian WW1 BB rebuilds. Could they have gotten up to a useful WW2 fleet speed of say 28 knots or more?

@alganhar1 Excellently said. The way the rabid pro Bismarck fanatics scream you'd think the Germans aimed precisely at Hood's magazine like a sniper shot. I've often said it was a Galaxy level lucky shot, but that shit happens at times. Those same fanatics also refuse to see the very serious flaws in Bismarck's design and proclaim her as the most powerful BB ever built. HA! I think HMS Rodney would like to say a few words to KM Bismarck about that.
