  1. iirc, the Lord Clive class used 12" turrets scrounged from some very old pre-dreadnoughts. Due to their age, these turrets were subject to frequent breakdown. They were not the sort of thing to rely on. The Admiralty was probably right in scrapping the Lord Clives, and only keeping the monitors that had the new 15" turrets on them. Additionally, any monitor would be immediately recognized as not German.
