Well, the Lion is an awesome ship. I can run with full thickness armor, and mount secondaries, and still have some tonnage left over. At maximum tonnage, she will make 31 knots, and if the belt armor were to be thinned at the ends to about 25", you can pull 32 knots. The guns are a variety of upgraded 16" guns, with a long range level 57 that has the accuracy of the Nelson guns, and some slightly shorter range guns with laser like precision and high damage, though with shorter range. It also has a nice tight turn radius, and is quite responsive. I haven't actually played the Vanguard yet, but I suspect that it's like an up-armored Refit Hood, so I have high hopes that she's a good ship. The guns include the level 60 15", a superb weapon with excellent range and good hitting power. I highly recommend continuing your British line. (Though I might have some bias in the matter...)
