The HMS Ghidorah was a British fast battleship built to rival its German and Italian counterparts. Its design began before the war because the Royal Navy anticipated that it would be outnumbered by the combination of German and Japanese ships in the early years. 40. In addition, the new ship could mount old cannons and turrets that they had in stock, so that it would be quickly built and equipped.

Fantastic drawings Alex!

But two questions for you please:
1) May I ask what she would look like if modernized like the US Iowa's during the Gulf War, or more general say like the 1990's-2010's?
2) What is that on top of B Turret please?

Kind Regards,

Andy
