@mpwarwick Invincible and Inflexible performed their designed role at the Battle of the Falkland Islands well enough.

[Rhys Heron @rhysheron]

@HiddenHistoryYT An excellent and adaptable design that underpinned following classes, much like the British J class destroyers. I’m curious which was objectively better for its primary theatre? I suppose British destroyers didn’t fully mature until the Battles, with dual purpose 4.5-inch guns.

What is happening to Australian diplomacy when the country's credibility in region is undermined by embarrassing own goals, where agreements are announced but not signed as scheduled? Surely grave errors of guidance by DFAT and officials https://t.co/tXfRXSDynH #auspol #ausdef

@RealAirPower1 I admired them at Australian airshows during the ‘90s. In its Lizard camouflage, it is arguably one of the best-looking (in addition to most capable) Scooters ever!

New Zealand commits to increasing defence investment to 2% of GDP by 2033, creating a "combat capable" NZDF. Capabilities include long range remotely piloted aircraft, "enhanced maritime strike" missiles and SH-2G(I) helicopter replacement https://t.co/dJesq46nmY #nzdef

@JohnKnuth127 @HMWarships I believe this modification was applied to the final units of the smaller, austere Crown Colony (Fiji) class, rather than Town class ships

@mpwarwick Thanks for your replies. I think your table of broadside weights clinches it. King George V class were second only to 16" Nelsons, despite lower calibre. I understand likely engagement ranges, and value of blast effect versus armour penetration were also considerations

@thegeneralboard Interesting review of competing light cruiser designs. Of the built wartime light cruiser classes, which do you believe is superior: Cleveland or Edinburgh?

@simonharley I’m about to read Winton’s biography of Jellicoe. Possibly one of the most underappreciated admirals in history?
