	King George V class battleship (1939) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While some argued that this gave the battleships an inferior broadside to the eight 15-inch guns of the German battleship Bismarck and her sister-ship the Tirpitz, the designers of this class pointed out that the ten guns of the 14-inch class had advantages over the eight 15-inch of the Bismarck type.
		The King George V class was built in an era where the aircraft carrier supplanted the battleship but nonetheless the HMS King George V, the HMS Prince of Wales, and the HMS Duke of York all saw the battleship-to-battleship action that they were designed for.
		The planned successors to the KGV class were the Lion class battleships of some 40,000 tonnes with nine 16 inch guns.
