Uninterrupted construction of the later King George V battleships

How quickly should the second batch of King George V-class battleships have been built?

In the uninterrupted-construction scenario discussed, most would be in service before the end of 1941 and a substantial portion during 1940.

Uninterrupted construction is estimated to bring most of the later King George V-class ships into service before the end of 1941, with a substantial portion ready in 1940. These dates belong to a counterfactual without those construction pauses. The estimate draws on a separate reconstruction of the ships' construction timelines. Stopping construction is blamed for disruption extending beyond the immediate interval when work ceased.
