Can anyone help me with documentation for the maximum heel angle of a South Dakota class battleship during a high speed turn?
I know Yamato had a 9 degree heel angle so I figure it would be similar?
If not known can anyone help me figure out the formula to calculate the maximum heel angle at full speed. I believe it has to do with the length beam ratio.
If South Dakota class is not known maybe North Carolina or Iowa class as a referance to see if they were similar to Yamato? Would the heel angle for these ships exceed 10 degrees? I believe the hoists for the main battery can operate with a list of 15 degrees but an not completely sure of this as well.
On NavSource there is a good photo of Indiana heeling to port during a full speed turn. A significant area of her red paint normally below the waterline is clearly visable.
