VOTE FOR YOU NAVY FIELD FAVOURITE SHIP!
my vote: HMS HOOD
WHY?
1. Weaponry

# Gun Type: Mk I
# Number of Guns: 8 total (2 per turret x 4 turrets)
# Calibre: 15"/ 38.1 cm
# Barrel Length: 42 cal (630") / 16520.2 mm
# Gun Length (Overall): 650.4" / 16502 mm
# Barrel Rifling: 76 grooves, right handed twist
# Charge Type: Cordite MD45
# Full Charge Weight: 428 lbs /194.1 kg
# Reduced Charge Weight: 321 lbs / 145.6 kg
# Shell Weight/Mass: 1920 lbs / 870.9 kg
# Chamber Gas Pressure: 19.5 tons psi / 305 MPa
# Muzzle Velocity: 2462 fs / 750 ms
# Rate of Fire: 2 rounds every 30 seconds (4 rounds per minute)

# Max. Range (New Barrel): 30,180 yds / 27,596.6 m (at 30?elev.)
# Elevation Angle- Max. / Min.: 30?/ -05?
# Mount: Type II
# Fire Control: A variety of inputs could be used- The primary directors were the 15 ft/4.6 m rangefinder above the Spotting Top and the 30 ft/9.1 m rangefinder atop the Conning Tower. Additionally, each turret/gun house was fitted with a 30 ft/9.1 m rangefinder and open director sites. Secondary control was normally carried out through "B" turret's sites. Should the need for divided fire arise, "B" turret would control the front two turrets, and "X" the aft two turrets. Should each turret need to fire independently, each could rely upon its own rangefinder and sites. All sites were augmented by various types of auxiliary fire control equipment to include tripod type directors and Evershed bearing transmitters. In 1941, this was further augmented by the incorporation of a Type 284 gunnery radar (range @10 nm/18.5 km). The Spotting Top 15 ft/4.6 m rangefinder was removed when the radar was added. Additionally, a Type 279M radar was fitted that could also provide surface ranging if necessary (range @ 9nm/16.6 km). Inputs from these devices could be fed into Mk V Dreyer fire control tables in the 15" transmitting stations for coordinated fire control
