Henderson's 15-inch preference opens two King George V batteries

What might King George V look like if Henderson secured his preferred 15-inch/50 guns?

It could carry ten 15-inch/50 guns, or perhaps twelve in four proven triple turrets if the design could absorb the weight.

Admiral Henderson's preference for 15-inch guns and proven triple mountings provides a basis for the counterfactual. Ten 15-inch/50 guns would already make the class a formidable design. A four-triple arrangement could raise the battery to twelve guns if the displacement problem could be solved. The choice therefore turns on whether designers prioritize a known mounting, maximum gun count, and the tonnage needed to carry them.
