HMS Vanguard's main cannons originated from surplus 15-inch guns taken from World War I-era battlecruisers, specifically HMS Courageous and HMS Glorious, after their conversion to aircraft carriers in the 1920s.

HMS Vanguard was a powerful, advanced battleship for the Royal Navy, but its comparison to other World War II battleships is complex due to its unique position as a late-war "stopgap" design.
