The discussion distinguishes the size of the planned class from the certainty of its individual names. Six ships were envisaged, with Lion and Temeraire identified as the firm pair. Princess Royal, Conqueror, Thunderer, Vanguard, Collingwood, Goliath, and Superb appear as possibilities rather than a settled list. That uncertainty matters when reconstructing cancelled programs, because later name associations can look more definite than the wartime record supports.
