Four-inch shells smother the simulated light cruiser as it closes the British battlecruisers. The intended targets for the triple mounting are destroyers, torpedo boats, and light cruisers. Likely Baltic operations would leave little time to engage such threats. A large volume of fire in a short interval therefore governs the secondary-battery choice.

A close-range demonstration leads into why a rapid-firing triple four-inch battery suited likely Baltic operations against destroyers, torpedo boats, and light cruisers.
