How Fisher might react to future battleship plans in 1913

What might Fisher do if shown the plans of much later battleships in 1913?

He would probably press for an immediate jump to 18-inch guns, lengthening the Queen Elizabeth design and expanding shipyard capacity to build it.

Fisher would probably treat plans for later American and Japanese battleships as evidence that Britain should leap beyond 15- and 16-inch weapons. The Queen Elizabeth design might be rebuilt around eight 18-inch guns in four twin turrets. Such a ship would need a longer hull and more building space than the historical class. Major yards such as Cammell Laird could extend their slips if the Admiralty paid for the work. Because the warning arrives in 1913, money and time might exist to place one or two of these counterfactual ships in service by Jutland.
