What would capital ships look like by 1935 if HMS Incomparable had been built in 1910?
Short answerThey would grow around the new dockyard and base capacity needed for Incomparable, with rival navies responding at a similar scale.
NotesThe answer treats HMS Incomparable not as an isolated giant hull but as the beginning of an infrastructure decision. Britain would need docks, harbours, repair facilities, and overseas support able to accept a ship of that size. Once those facilities existed, later British designs could grow beyond Incomparable rather than returning to the previous limit. Foreign navies would answer with their own very large ships or entirely new support systems, making the 1935 fleet depend on the infrastructure race begun twenty-five years earlier.
