yeah, I also did some searching before I posted the WoWS images (since I am no ship expert!)
but I found no evidence of single rudder setup on this boat.
Everything I found showed twin rudders balanced over four screws.
(The position of a single central rudder wouldn't work well in my opinion).
Even HMS Marlborough (another one of the Iron Duke Class ships) has four screws and twin rudders.
I assume all four (Iron Dukes) do.
[I have a photo of Marlborough in drydock showing the off-center rudders]
But, as I said, I am no expert...just passing along what I found.
Full steam ahead!!
