Battle Cruiser Fleet experience shaped later gunnery thinking

Did First World War Battle Cruiser Fleet experience influence Royal Navy thinking about rate of fire and hit probability?

Yes; it reinforced the need for well-practised gun crews and highlighted the barrel-life and weight advantages available with six-inch weapons.

A viewer asks whether the Battle Cruiser Fleet's First World War performance influenced later Royal Navy thinking about rate of fire and hit probability. It did, particularly by reinforcing the value of repeated gun-crew practice. A six-inch barrel could also be made somewhat heavier and wear more slowly than an eight-inch barrel. Giving an eight-inch weapon comparable longevity would impose still more weight, so training economy and material wear joined shell effect in the calibre calculation.
