4-inch or 6-inch secondary guns ?

[edit]

This article states the class was equipped with 4-inch secondary guns rather than the originally intended 6-inch. Which fits with Tony DiGiulian's website, which is extremely accurate, and states the KGV class had 16 BL 4 inch Mk VII guns. (Onyer Tony !). Yet the separate articles for KGV, Audacious and Ajax state 6-inch guns. ??? Rcbutcher (talk) 07:49, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated all the ships with 16 BL 4-inch Mk VII secondary aramament. It was the same as that of Orion class. Rcbutcher (talk) 08:48, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Prose Suggestions

[edit]
  • "The three surviving ships were briefly reduced to reserve in 1919 before being transferred to the Mediterranean Fleet in 1920–1921 where they played minor roles in the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War and the Chanak Crisis of 1922. The first ship to return to Britain, King George V, became a training ship in 1923, but the other two were placed into reserve again upon their return the following year. The imminent completion of the two Nelson-class battleships in 1927 forced the sale of King George V and Ajax for scrap at the end of 1926 while Centurion was converted into a target ship to comply with the tonnage limitations of the Washington Naval Treaty." Should probably the fate of Audacious before going on to talk about the three survivors.
