Would an eight-gun 14-inch Tiger be more powerful than a six-gun 15-inch Renown?
Short answerIn broadside weight, yes; Tiger would throw more shell weight, although Renown would be faster.
NotesThe comparison concerns the hypothetical 1937 Tiger reconstruction discussed earlier in the stream. Eight 14-inch shells outweigh six 15-inch shells in a single broadside, giving Tiger the advantage in throw weight. Renown would remain faster under the proposed reconstruction assumptions. A larger individual caliber does not automatically create the heavier full-ship broadside.
