Question

Which Lion-class design would be best to have in service during World War II?

Short answer

The original design, if keeping it allowed the ship to be completed in time.

Notes

The preferred Lion design is the one that can be completed during World War II. Retaining the original design and building it is favoured. Completion before the war ends is the controlling criterion, with no detailed comparison of later variants.
