The KGVs' (quadruple) gun turrets chronically malfunctioned, but the British had honed their naval gunnery accuracy to the point the KGVs could be decisive in a battle anyway:
Prince of Wales significantly wounding Bismarck in the Denmark Strait in May41 and Duke of York's long distance – ergo plunging and engineering plant penetrating – Hail Mary! shot which crippled Scharnhorst's speed enabling the cruisers and (in the rough seas) destroyers to catch up.
Note that HNoMS Stord got in the closest to make the most torpedo hits … just north of its occupied country.
I've accused (pre-eminent British naval miniatures wargamer) David Manley of the British actually having had still-secret 14" homing shells. B-)
I'll have to check out the CGI.
Naval battle feature films with such now-adequate/excellent CGI can be made, as in the case of the recent Midway … despite its flaws like no B-17s while limitless B-26s bombing, not making suicidal torpedo runs as historically.
Muri's plane actually buzzed the length of Akagi's flight deck, and there is an excellent painting of that.
Think what those B-26s could have done instead … at far less vulnerable high diving speed … laying strings of 500 pounders along those flight decks.
