Would Hood's proposed 5.25-inch mounts be placed as in Drachinifel's model?
Short answerThose positions are considered plausible, but the choice between 5.25-inch and 4.5-inch mounts remains uncertain.
NotesThe mount positions in Drachinifel's model look plausible for Hood's proposed refit. Either 5.25-inch or 4.5-inch mounts remain possible, so accepting that layout does not settle the calibre.
