What would the Royal Navy do if handed the F3 battlecruiser design and its notes in 1916?
Short answerBuild it quickly, turning the Admiral-class program into a much more advanced fast-capital-ship project.
NotesThe F3 package would give wartime planners both a compelling ship and the reasoning behind it. Britain would move rapidly to construct the design rather than merely study it. The resulting ships would replace or transform the historical Admiral-class path. Earlier arrival of an all-forward, heavily protected fast capital ship would change post-Jutland construction and later naval competition.
