Sources on R-class speed and wetness

Published assessments give readers a source trail for R-class speed, wetness, and A-turret use in heavy seas.

Question

Where can readers look for published feedback on the Revenge class?

Short answer

The answer points to D. K. Brown, Charles Martin, and a Warship International letter on speed, wetness, and A-turret use in heavy seas.

Notes

A request for sources on R-class feedback points to D. K. Brown for a speed figure of about 22 knots and to Charles Martin's description of the class as the wettest ships in the fleet. The answer also cites a Warship International letter stating that Revenge's A turret was unusable ahead in sea states five to six. These references give readers starting points for checking how the class handled at sea. The spoken issue citation is unclear, so no volume or year can be stated confidently.
