The Brit BC's were another story, three went up like Roman candles from magazine hits.
The BC was originally designed as a super-commerce raider and in the pre-aviation era could have done fine at that role.
But it was supposed to kill everything it could catch and run away from everything it couldn't kill. The admirals forgot the second half of that sentence and could not resist putting these big ships with their big guns in the battle line, with the obvious result.
The German BC’s sacrificed fire power for more protection. Also they a much better protection scheme to prevent the fire from a hit on the turret going down the hauling system into the magazine.
