Otherwise unexplained 18-inch gun work and the timing of new small-tube boilers both fit Agincourt's cancelled reconstruction. The proposed arrangement uses six 18-inch guns and the new boiler type. The timing makes that combination a strong historical inference. No conclusive document has yet been identified that states the full design, so the reconstruction remains a hypothesis.
