The game scenario is not offered as a historical prediction, but as a way to visualize the design trade. The hypothetical ships retain a substantial belt while yielding some protection for speed and a more numerous force. Two ships bring eighteen 16-inch guns against Bismarck's eight 15-inch guns, making concentration of firepower the point of the demonstration. The engagement also shows the difficulty of escaping a fast battle line when sustained high speed reduces operational radius.

Testing the design against Bismarck
A simulated Denmark Strait-style action illustrates how two 16-inch ships can overwhelm a faster opponent despite lighter protection.
