Question

Which guns should arm a new postwar capital-ship hull?

Short answer

Use the 16-inch guns from Nelson and Rodney.

Notes

The new hull would use the 16-inch guns from Nelson and Rodney rather than Vanguard's 15-inch weapons. The choice reuses the more powerful surviving armament if Britain attempts another postwar capital ship.
