I finally upgraded NARNS Royal through the garbage British cruiser path and got her to the beastly Renown. Lemme tell you what about those British 15inch guns. Their range is pure garbage. 8" can out range them. But that damage... I one salvoed a flipping Nevada. That was armored. I was most impressed. Now, time to get the triple turret of doom...

Another thing: Renown's armor is shit. You get awesome speed (28-29 knots fully loaded), but with a puny 8" of armor. You can block cruiser guns with reasonable effectiveness, but if you're up against another heavily armed ship... dodge like hell and shoot like crazy.
