With regard to most successful ships, how about the two cunard queens in ferrying troops to Europe?

Loved the illustration for "Bow Tanking". Very droll!

Thank you for the excellent answer about practical gunnery range and rate of fire. My question for the accuracy of supercharges for the 15"/42 is related to the fact that with rifles, once you get the right combination of bullet weight and charge for a given barrell lenght/rifling, a further increase in charge is usually worthless or even counterproductive, so I was curious about supercharging an existing excellent combination like the one already achieved for the 15"/42
