The first test ends once the vulnerable main tower and zero hit probability make the result uninformative. A wider hull makes room for a more substantial tower, followed by further adjustments to beam, machinery efficiency, and component placement. Moving equipment reduces the forward weight offset to roughly two percent, which should improve accuracy. Fire-control protection cannot be added independently because extra superstructure changes topweight, stability, propulsion efficiency, and the space available for secondary weapons. The rebuild turns the first battle's failure into a compact lesson in iterative naval architecture.

Rebuilding beam, topweight, and fire control after the first duel
The failed first duel sends the design back to the yard, where a wider hull and a stronger main tower must be balanced against machinery efficiency and forward weight.
