===Between the wars=== Between the wars, the ships received considerable upgrades, including new machinery, small-tube boilers, deck armour upgrades, [[torpedo belt]] armour, trunked funnels, new secondary armament and anti-aircraft armament, and many improvements in gunlaying and electronics. ''Queen Elizabeth'', ''Valiant'', and ''Warspite'' were the most modernised, with all three receiving the new "[[Queen Anne's Mansions]]" block superstructure for the bridge, whilst twenty 4.5" dual-purpose guns in 10 turret mountings replaced the 6" casemate secondary weapons on ''Queen Elizabeth'' and ''Valiant''. ''Warspite'' kept her 6" secondary guns, now reduced to just four per battery.<ref>[http://www.friesian.com/kongo.htm The Battleship Kongô]</ref>
