Fleet-wide 15-inch standardization could influence the later King George V class as well as Tiger. One tentative alternative is a 28-knot ship with twelve 15-inch guns in four triple turrets. That arrangement might avoid difficulties associated with the historical quadruple mountings. The suggestion extends the counterfactual to later procurement without establishing a completed design.
