What an autoloading battleship changes

How would autoloaders alter a battleship engagement?

A sixteen-gun autoloading battery could deliver repeated full salvos so quickly that it would radically compress the opening exchange.

The design has sixteen 14-inch guns in four quadruple autoloading turrets. Automating the loading cycle would make the battery behave less like a conventional battleship armament and more like an enormous machine gun. Each firing cycle would put sixteen heavy shells into the air without waiting on a traditional handling rhythm. The design therefore changes the opening tempo of an engagement before questions of ammunition endurance even arise.
