What would an autoloading 5.25-inch super-destroyer resemble?

A successful autoloading twin 5.25-inch mount points toward an enlarged descendant of the Tribal and Daring destroyer concepts.

Question

Would a reliable autoloading twin 5.25-inch mount justify a Tribal-derived super-destroyer?

Short answer

Yes. It would probably resemble a Daring-class development built around the heavier automatic mount.

Notes

The 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.
