The alternative hull draws on F3 and other contemporary design studies instead of combining only later warship features. These ideas were discussed in a naval constructors' course whose class graduated in 1907. Stanley Goodall, later an important British naval constructor, was among the students. The precedent places an all-forward triple-turret thought experiment within a longer design conversation, although the specific photographed mounting remains unverified.
