One enemy battlecruiser carries nine 17.7-inch guns, while the opposing formation brings roughly fifty 16.5-inch guns to bear. The action is intentionally uneven, with several capital ships concentrating against one target. A surface battle is not a sporting duel, and arranging a fair fight would spend lives for no operational gain. The exact result belongs to the simulation, while the force-planning lesson is to create local overmatch whenever possible.
