@Derp: No. Nothing will protect you from Cavour. Cavour is the scourge of the seas. Don't even try to beat them.

@Khoi: You need the 14" guns of you want to live. Period. No ifs about it. Though I would recommend lowering the amount of ammunition in your magazines to a low amount, like 40 rounds per gun. 4 guns times 40 shells times 2 shell types equals 320 shells you can expend in a game, which is plenty. Plus, one well placed 14" broadside can sink any destroyer, and the sheer power of the 14" gun versus say, an 8" gun, will scare off most cruisers before they even attack, and if they do attack, the 14" gun can easily outrange the 8" gun, and if they do get in range, your armor should be sufficient to negate the power of the 8" gun and below. They only thing to look out for is torpedoes, which you can easily dodge since Kongo is pretty agile.
