I have posted an article on my website comparing the interwar British battleship designs (Nelsons and KGVs) with their competition.

Neat.
My favorite battleship classes have always been the King George V class, Yamato class and Nagato class.

I must confess to a fondness for the Richelieu. Those twin quad turrets mounted forwards - what a sight!

Very interesting reading, (as always) <S!>
At the risk of making this a "my favorite BB" thread I have to say that I'm still a fan of the Nelsons, especially the Rodney but that may have something to do with its more impressive history......

Richelieu what a ship design even by the french. Was one of my favorite models I built as a kid. But nothing compares to the Tirpitz IMO, Believe last count of 20mm AA added to her was around 160 not including the other calibers.
