	HMS Hindustan (1905)
		The King Edwards carried three calibres of big guns: the 12" MK X main armament, four 9.2" guns in single turrets at the corners of the superstructure (see the model shot below right), and the ten 6" QF secondary armament in an armored box battery amidships, cantilevered slightly over the hull.
		However, the necessity of carrying a different calibre shell (making 5 sizes of ammo in all, counting the anti-torpedo boat weapons) was inconvenient; this was the sort of overcomplication that led to the great simplification of the all-big-gun dreadnoughts only a few years later.
		Moreover, the KE VII's had substantially less freeboard than the preceding Bulwark and Formidable groups, and tended to be heavy rollers and wet ships in comparison.
