A Duke of York-inspired design tests what rapid-fire modern gun technology could do when applied to a Second World War-era capital ship. The ship carries sixteen 14-inch guns in four quadruple turrets, using the maximum gun length available in the game. Its smaller weapons stand in for historical British calibres that the game does not reproduce exactly. The design is a comparative thought experiment, and its exact form is not presented as historically buildable.
