How quickly would other naval powers follow if Orion and Lion adopted triple turrets?
Short answerResponses would vary, with Germany unlikely to adopt triples until considerably later.
NotesAustria-Hungary, Italy, Russia, and the United States were already using or moving toward triple turrets. Japan would readily take up the British approach. Germany is expected to wait another two design generations because it lacked money for an immediate change. A British decision would therefore produce different responses across the rival navies.
