An 800-psi machinery plant for a Nelson successor

What features would you add when redesigning Nelson with 800-psi machinery?

Use an F3-like form and aim for about 28 knots within 35,000 tons, while retaining the broad battleship concept.

The preferred redesign uses the F3 hull form to aim for 28 knots within 35,000 tons. That target is challenged on the assumption that a twin-shaft ship would be limited to about 24 to 26 knots. The F2 and F3 studies are then cited as twin-shaft designs intended for 28 knots, unlike the four-shaft G3. How they were intended to achieve that performance remains under investigation. A larger propeller is suggested during the exchange, without a firm engineering resolution. The F3's transom stern is also identified as an advantage of the form.
