The big-gun era as a study frame

The stream frames the big-gun era as roughly 1850 to 1943, giving viewers a useful boundary for the Q&A's battleship and gun-design questions.

Notes

The big-gun era stretches from mid-nineteenth-century heavy guns through the Second World War. Gun size, fire control, armor, speed, and industrial limits evolved together over that period.
