Question

Would the G3 or N3 designs be brought back for a delayed war?

Short answer

A direct revival is unlikely, although ideas such as a 16.5-inch gun could be reconsidered.

Notes

Older proposals can influence later design choices without returning unchanged. The answer leaves room for borrowing an armament idea while rejecting an automatic restart of either programme.
