Queen Mary's survival and the Admiral-class redesign

Would Queen Mary's survival have prevented the Admiral-class redesign?

Not necessarily; battle damage and its investigation could still feed valuable lessons into the redesign.

A sinking was not the only source of tactical lessons. Investigators also learned from ships that returned with battle damage. A surviving Queen Mary would probably carry damage whose study could feed the post-Jutland reassessment. Her survival therefore need not preserve the original Admiral-class design and might provide additional evidence for Hood's redesign.
