An 18-inch Argencourt built from Queen Elizabeth logic

The proposed ship uses three twin 18-inch turrets, twenty-eight small-tube boilers, four shafts, and an estimated 28-knot speed. Its deep-load displacement is about 38,800 tons, only modestly above Renown despite much heavier armament and protection. A 15-inch belt, thicker decks, and an extended hull make the concept more than a simple gun substitution on Queen Elizabeth. The proposed weight distribution is about eight percent bow-heavy, which would make the bow wet and provides a practical reason to lengthen it. Period assumptions are kept separate from the radar and electronics imposed by the design software's later-war setting. This is a conservative reconstruction from fragmentary clues, not a surviving Admiralty blueprint.
