You are a lucky man! It took me a good amount of time to find the document (provided by an old researcher friend more than 20 years ago).
The Imperial German Navy after Jutland
. . . . . .
Much is known of the Royal Navy's reactions to the unpalatable results of the Battle of Jutland.

Hello Byron,
Your friend's article goes into detail about the military gun details that were made to increase the gun-barrels,
and with this the range of the guns on German ships. The topic still seems to be relevant for over 20 years.
Among other things, you pointed out 10 years ago:

IIRC, there is also mention of evidence of the installation of an estimated 8m rangefinder aboard KOENIG. One of the problems with these British inspection reports, however, is that almost all the really sensitive ans interesting FC equipment of the German ships had been removed before they went into internment.
I am very excited about further results.
Regards Holger
