Born Again P-76 Pilot
- This is the first time I've ever heard that Tigers armor was retained. How long was in kept in storage?
- Just how fast could a new battlecruiser be built if the need was there and armament could be found?
- I seem to recall discussing this on the NFB. Did the proposed monitors account for all nine of the turrets from Tiger and Iron Duke?
- How far ahead is the RN thinking here? Are we talking about basically wanting to emulate what the USN was able to do in OTL with regard to time at sea, or is this driven by a post-Singapore realization that its global base network may be vulnerable and shouldn't be counted on to always be there?
- Are we talking about a real battleship meant to slug it out with other battleships? Or are we talking about a carrier-escort with big guns and lots of AAA, more of a modern battlecruiser?
- Just what are we talking about here? Are we talking about the 4x4 Belfast, or new 8" cruisers?
- Would the need for such a ship bolster Churchill's interest in big 9.2" armed cruisers? I recall that the big argument against these ships was that two Vanguards could be had for three of these cruisers, with the Vanguards being much more useful
