Would an early British super-dreadnought run of four Orions, five King George Vs, five Iron Dukes, six Queen Elizabeths, and eight Revenges have made more sense than the historical pattern?
Short answerYes. The sequence has a clearer internal logic than the historical series of four-ship batches.
NotesThe proposed progression has a clearer internal logic than repeated four-ship classes. The response is brief and does not develop the downstream design or budget consequences. The exchange is most useful as a quick judgment on the regularity of the alternate building sequence.
