G3 and N3 construction could feed a rotating capital-ship reserve

Without treaty scrapping, new G3 and N3 ships could move 13.5-inch-gun veterans into reserve before later generations finally replaced them.

Notes

Without the interwar treaty limits, the Royal Navy's likely capital-ship rotation would have moved older 13.5-inch-gun ships into reserve as G3 battlecruisers entered service. N3 battleships and later successors would continue the process until the oldest reserve group was finally sold or scrapped. The sequence treats reserve as a managed stage in fleet renewal rather than a permanent home for every old hull.
