How Fisher might have changed the Revenge class

A Fisher counterfactual rebuilds the planned Revenge group as Renown-like battlecruisers armed with nine 15-inch guns.

Question

How might the Revenge-class program change if John Fisher returned to power?

Short answer

The eight planned ships become Renown-like battlecruisers with nine 15-inch guns in three triple turrets.

Notes

A viewer imagines John Fisher returning to power early enough to redirect British capital-ship design. The eight planned Revenge-class ships become enlarged Renown-type battlecruisers. Each carries nine 15-inch guns in three triple turrets, combining a fast-ship concept with a heavier broadside than the historical Renown class. This is a counterfactual design sketch, and damaged captions leave some of the question's proposed machinery changes unclear.
