  2. 3:40 Well, the KM ships were under orders to avoid damage, so they never directly squared off against eg Renown, and we do not know whether a Scharnhorst or Renown would prevail in a fight to the last.

  3. 11:40 Can you imagine how France and Italy would have reacted if Australia were allocated the same ratio of capital ships, especially since if AUS actually built their tonnage it would be 1920-fresh or later, while FR and IT were saddled with stuff they built between 1908 and 1915.
