Range and detection
Every bar uses the same 20 km scale. Surface detection is a visibility threshold, not a weapon range.

After receiving intel that Japan wouldn't limit the caliber of its new battleships, British engineers began making changes to the construction of the new project 14O battleships. One of the armament options was to install 381 mm guns in three triple-gun turrets, which allowed for offsetting the heavy weight the enhanced armor implied.
