After the more radical all-forward concept, King Jupiter offers the conventional design suggested by viewers. It is the conservative approach and still produces an attractive, coherent battleship. Triple main-battery turrets fit this familiar arrangement as well as the Nelson-style alternative. The game model also carries triple 4-inch secondary mounts, anticipating the later discussion of British interest in multi-gun secondary mountings. The ship is a counterfactual visualization rather than a historical design.
