  1. Well on Rodney vs the twins I'd definitely put money on Rodney because 16 inch guns will put holes in armour much further out than 11s and generous British bursting charges make a big boom any round they hit armoured area or not and the gigachad Captain Hamilton. But to play devil's advocate for a minute there's 18 guns vs 9 and the 11s have a higher rate of fire regardless of having 2 ships worth and you don't have to pierce the armour to take out fire control/range finders/radar etc so in a scenario where the twins win pretty much they blind Rodney and at that point it's an execution instead of a fight, not to mention Rodney specifically does NOT have an updated Renown/QE/Valiant/Warspite style fire control it's got a 1920s not that different than Hood setup.

  2. Well of the 4 potential museum ships mentioned I'd like to point out that Nevada and West Virginia are both land locked and most of the museum ships saved are in their home state (and all the ones that aren't Iowa class are in their home state) So realistically if we had one it'd be California or Pennsylvania.
