A speculative Fisher super-ship and HMS Incomparable

If Fisher had got his way, would he have built one ship to do everything?

Possibly. The idea connects to a speculative discussion of HMS Incomparable and postwar naval treaties.

The idea that Fisher might have preferred an all-purpose super-ship leads to a prior discussion of HMS Incomparable. That discussion considered what might have happened if the ship had been under construction when post-First World War treaty restrictions arrived. The scenario remains speculative. It illustrates the tension between ambitious capital-ship design and treaty-era constraints.
