pretty much all paper ships

seems to be 155s for typical cruiser work, but if you want to go BB hunting: 203s

Prince of Wales was the most modern ship in the fleet, as proved by her still having workers on board going into battle. So the RN could be confident enough that parity at least should have been possible. Hopefully slow Bismarck and allow further capital ships to be redirected. Worth remembering there were multiple routes Bismarck could take, which forced RN to divide its available fleet.
