Ammunition scale from a Matilda tank to a battleship

A viewer compares 93 two-pounder rounds in a Matilda with 86,400 aboard a King George V-class battleship, illustrating the consumption of a large automatic battery.

Notes

A viewer's comparison gives a Matilda tank 93 two-pounder rounds and a King George V-class battleship 86,400 for its two-pounder battery. The tank's load is described as sufficient for a battle. The battleship's much larger stock is said to represent only about twenty minutes of continuous fire from the battery. The numbers are a contributed example, without a calculation worked through in the discussion.
