How would HMS Vanguard fight Bismarck compared with Rodney?
Short answerThe gunnery result would be similar, but Vanguard's speed would prevent Bismarck from escaping.
NotesVanguard would not make the gun battle effortless. In striking power, the engagement remains broadly comparable to Rodney's historical role. The decisive improvement is speed. Bismarck might disengage from the slower Rodney, but she could not simply run away from Vanguard.
