Question

How many twin autoloading 6-inch guns could Britain place on a 1947 Minotaur-class cruiser?

Short answer

Four or perhaps five twin 6-inch mounts, paired with roughly four or five twin 3-inch mounts on a full-size hull.

Notes

The estimate assumes the original, full-size Minotaur hull. It could probably carry four or five twin autoloading 6-inch mounts, together with four or five twin 3-inch mounts. Both figures are approximate and depend on using that full-size design.
