  1. My god there are an amazing amount of radars sets on Vanguard compared to other battleships

  2.  @chopchop7938  firstly they are definitely not poorly designed, the "powder room" is in the same place in all battleships because it has to be there due to the way you load a gun, the Hoods wasn't in the wrong place it just didn't have sufficient deck armour and if you say Vanguard didn't have sufficient deck armour, no battleship ever did, because only Yamato had thicker deck armour.

  3.  Richard McCaig  the radar and fire control present actually heavy tips it in Vanguards favour, the bursting charge of the 15 inch shell was much larger than the 16 inch shell on the Iowa and in heavy seas the Iowa would not be able to fire it's forward turret, due to the way the bow is. Also the training in the Royal Navy was far superior to American ships. But it would be a close run thing, and Iowa has a speed advantage.
