		HMS Prince of Wales was a King George V-class battleship of the Royal Navy, built at Birkenhead, England.
		Its sinking by aerial attack in 1941 signalled the end of the battleship as the predominant class in naval warfare.
		They were the first capital ships (battleships/battlecruisers/carriers) to be sunk solely by airpower on the open sea, a harbinger of the diminishing role this class of ships was to play in naval warfare thereafter.

		The Prince of Wales's performances in the Denmark Strait was disappointing because of mechanical troubles with the turrets, but the King George V was quite good when finishing off the German battleship a few days later.
		In the meantime, the class had suffered its only loss during the war, the Prince of Wales (still her) engaged without air protection off Malaysia and sunk by Japanese aircraft.

	H.M.S. Magnificent
		The sixteen-inch rifles that were to go on the new Lion class of battleships suffered design problems, and was going to delay completion of the ships.
		A new generation of advanced gun-control radar gave increased accuracy, and a new super-heavy armored projectile promised increased penetration to compete with the larger-bored guns of her potential adversaries.
		The problems with the 16-inch guns of the Lion class were also solved more quickly than expected and even they would most likely beat the new super-battleship to the water.

	Axis History Forum :: View topic - King George V battleships - better with only 8 guns?
		I think the British King George V class battleships would have been more useful with 8 x 14" guns, instead of 10 x 14".
		Note: The King George V's were originally designed to have 12 x 10" guns in three 4-gun turrets, but this would have cut the speed to only 26 knots, which was far too slow.
		I've never seen the KGV class referred to as battle-cruisers but then again with no battleship fleets anymore, the distinction is somewhat blurred.

	Warships - Battleships - Projected
		The 'H' class battleships were a part of Germany's "Z" plan, the German Navy's master plan to build a balanced fleet to challenge allied supremacy at sea.
		Presumably, the 'H' class also preserved the greatest advantages of the previous classes: the minute internal subdivision which made them so difficult to sink, excellent fire control, a steady gun platform (likely, given the beam of these ships), and excellent anti-torpedo protection.
		Unlike their immediate predecessors, the Iowa class, which were designed as escorts for the American fast carrier task forces (and which you can read about in my "Basic Characteristics Of The Post Treaty Battleships" essay), the Montanas were designed to slug it out with the best in the world.
