The game explores a British fast-capital-ship concept that blends G3 and F3 ideas rather than reproducing either design exactly. The main battery grows to 16.5-inch guns while belt, deck, turret, and end protection are adjusted to control displacement and longitudinal balance. Underwater torpedo tubes compete for the same weight margin as armour and machinery. Eight-inch secondaries are rejected as too costly for their role, and 5.5-inch guns become a speculative dual-purpose battery instead. The paper design changes character as every attractive feature is paid for with weight, space, or stability.

Reworking G3 and F3 capital-ship ideas
