Scaling a British autoloader for the Iowa class

Would the US Navy refit the Iowa class with a British 14-inch autoloader after the Second World War?

It would more likely adapt the autoloading concept to a 16-inch gun than replace Iowa's battery with 14-inch weapons.

The proposal asks whether the United States might fit a successful British 14-inch autoloading weapon to the Iowa class after the war. American designers would probably focus on the loading mechanism rather than the exact British calibre. They would try to scale the concept to a 16-inch gun. Adopting the technology would not require copying the entire foreign weapon.
