A dreadnought design for a battlecruiser-heavy fleet

A newly unlocked dreadnought hull becomes a 24-knot battleship with six-inch secondaries and wing guns for a fleet otherwise shifting toward battlecruisers.

Notes

The newly unlocked dreadnought hull is developed alongside the second battlecruiser design. The battleship is set for 24 knots, widened to support its layout, and fitted with six-inch secondary guns plus wing-mounted main guns. Armour and weight are adjusted until the design is within the game's displacement limit, and the resulting class is named Montague. Building these ships keeps a conventional battle line in the programme while newer battlecruisers prepare to replace many older battleships.
