What Canadian capital ships might have looked like

Which battleships or battlecruisers was Canada considering buying?

Modified Queen Elizabeth-type ships were discussed, possibly with R-class armour features, and even a small force could have affected later treaty calculations.

Canadian proposals centred on three modified Queen Elizabeth-class ships. A mixed design combining Queen Elizabeth speed and armament with R-class protection may have been more plausible. Even a three-ship force would have created a distinct Dominion capital-ship capability. Canada might then have counted as a separate naval power in later treaty negotiations, giving the design choice consequences beyond the ships themselves.
