Warspite versus Yamato at night

What might happen if HMS Warspite encountered Yamato at night?

Warspite would try to exploit radar and fire control to close before firing, but the outcome would depend on interception geometry and whether the slower British battleship could force point-blank combat.

British doctrine called for holding fire until the enemy began training its turrets, using radar to approach with guns already concentrated. Yamato's speed could prevent the engagement, but at point-blank range even very heavy armor would cease to offer reliable protection.
