Range of 203 mm guns edit
What was the practical range of the 8" guns of Suffolk? According to the article of this gun it was 26520 m at an elevation of 41° 28′. NavWeaps says 28030 m at 45°. Norfolk with the same guns was 24000 m from the German ships in the Denmark Strait at 05:56 on 24 May 1941, but still out of range. Why? --Andreas (talk) 15:13, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
