Would a reliable autoloading twin 5.25-inch mount justify a Tribal-derived super-destroyer?
Short answerYes. It would probably resemble a Daring-class development built around the heavier automatic mount.
NotesThe proposal would likely produce the form that the Daring class might have taken around such a weapon. A heavy dual-purpose mount points to a super-destroyer rather than a conventional light cruiser. Its feasibility would still rest on making the autoloader and mount reliable enough for service.
