Drachinifel's interpretation gives the proposed Agincourt triple 15-inch gun turrets, while Clarke favors an 18-inch design. The disagreement connects to the number of guns available when a battleship carries four turrets or fewer. Triple mountings could preserve a larger broadside as the turret count fell. The projected armament remains unresolved here.
