AHQ KGV class with 9x15" guns

Postwar, ...
The 5" was true dual purpose with more range,
Different guns for different jobs.
The Bofors, though, was useless as DP gun.
I agree with all of the above but I think it mealy shows that the numbers are to vague to tell us anything definitively without closer comparisons of each categories and by year to get a reasonable idea of what to go with.

Anyway since this is a BB thread I think secondary/tertiary systems like DP/AA guns can be swapped or changed far later in the design than the main guns so not sure it matters much. They would simply use the best that was available in 38-39.
 
HMAS Sydney was seen to prepare to launch her Amphib by the crew of the Kormoran but then they didn't - might have made a difference if she had as Kormarons crew would have been obliged to engage earlier
