	HMS Courageous (50) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Built as a "large light cruiser" during World War I, Courageous, her sister HMS Glorious, and half-sister HMS Furious, were the brainchildren of Admiral Lord Fisher, and were designed to be "light cruiser destroyers".
		Courageous could be distinguished from her sister Glorious by a shorter round-down on her flight deck at the stern, by a different type of mast, and the addition of a charthouse on the island.
		The 15-inch turrets that were removed for Courageous in the conversion were later installed as X and Y turrets on HMS Vanguard.

	British 15"/42 (38.1 cm) Mark I
		For this reason, sources which quote HMS Vanguard as having gun ranges in excess of 32,000 yards (29,260 m) are somewhat misleading, as such a range would have required the use of super charges, which she never carried.
		HMS Vanguard when completed post-war carried 95 APC, 5 HE and 9 practice shells per gun until she was converted to "Royal Yacht" duties in 1947, after which time she rarely carried any main gun ammunition at all.
		The first two rows are for a projectile striking a plate at 90 degrees, i.e., with the axis of the shell perpendicular to the face of the plate, while the next two rows are for shells striking at an undefined angle, possibly the same as the angle of fall but also possibly perpendicular.

		HMS Vanguard isn't available at the moment, it's the name of first of the 4 Trident ICBN carrying submarines, and they're supposed to remain in service until 2025 or later.
		HMS Invincible was originally designed as a helicopter/command cruiser, hence the original Sea Dart medium-range SAM armament, when the Sea Harrier was approved, the ski-jump added for their operation replaced the Exocet SSMs that were also due to be fitted.
		HMS Ocean is due to be replaced about 2018, Ark Royal in about 2015-18, so both could be replaced by new Commando Carriers.

		This has remained the principal theory of the use of firearms, except for the temporary vogue of duelling with pistols, which was courageous stupidity, especially popular with military men.

		HMS Warrior, the large iron steam frigate launched in 1860 and now exhibited in Portsmouth, was furnished with a broadside of 68-pounders at the blockheaded insistence of the Admiralty, who could not conceive of a ship without such armament.

	VANGUARD, COURAGEOUS and GLORIOUS - Their 15" Guns
		The general belief is that Vanguard's 8 main guns, their mounts and turrets came from HMS COURAGEOUS and HMS GLORIOUS, when these were converted to aircraft carriers.
		It is clear from this log that although Vanguard's main turrets and mounts came from Courageous and Glorious, only one of the big guns came from one of them, and that was indirectly, as it had been in HMS WARSPITE in the intervening period.
		The 8 guns removed from Courageous and Glorious went, as well as to Warspite, also to Malaya, Renown and the monitor Roberts.

		If you have good eye sight, you'll notice the Courageous has a different dorsal grav array than the Nike, though the bow and stern grav arrays are the same, just smaller.
		Wouldn't the chase armament also have gunports since it's the emitter assembly that is pushed clear of the ship on the power ram to prevent hull damage during firing.
		But like I said, it wouldn't be canon anyways to do the checkboard pattern, but it might be a fun render to do a BC or DD decked out in the colours under warshawski sail.

		The first Sea Gladiators went to 801 Squadron aboard HMS "Courageous" at the end of May, 1939, with all the Sea Gladiators delivered by the end of 1939 following the outbreak of war on September 3.
		Also in early September, HMS "Illustrious" arrived in the Mediterranean with a full compliment of Fulmars in 806 Squadron, and "Eagle's" foursome were no longer the only Fleet Air Arm fighters in the region; they were then designated 813 Squadron.
