Q&A: what might a third Nelson have been called?

What would a third Nelson-class battleship probably have been named?

Probably HMS Anson, with Howe, Collingwood, or St Vincent as less likely admiral-name alternatives.

Nelson and Rodney established a naming pattern built around famous Royal Navy admirals. Anson is the most likely name for a third ship, with Howe, Collingwood, or St Vincent as alternatives. King George V is discounted because that royal name was better suited to lead a later post-treaty class. Projected class names followed hierarchy, commemoration, and expectations about future building programmes.
