actually, no, she too would have problems. You see, because South Dakota has standard ammunition in smaller guns (than Iowa), SD will have to close to a given range. SD will have the advantage. However, SD class isn't all that great, they're SLOWER than Bismarck (27 vs 30), their firecontrol (at the time) had essentially no advantages (Atlantic Theatre) in comparion. Easy work? no, pretty beat up, but SD would win (to the point she would be crippled)
