Queen Elizabeth and Revenge cancellations behind the Renowns

Was it correct to cancel the remaining Queen Elizabeth- and Revenge-class ships during the First World War?

The cancellation is opposed, while parts and boilers from three Revenge-class ships are described as contributing to two Renowns. The preference also reflects enthusiasm for a hypothetical eight-18-inch-gun Agincourt tested in a game.

The final Queen Elizabeth-type cancellation is distinguished from three Revenge-class ships whose parts and boilers contributed to two Renowns. Reusing that material makes the Revenge changes different from a simple loss of all three ships. The preference against cancellation also reflects enthusiasm for an imagined Agincourt carrying eight 18-inch guns. That enthusiasm draws on a version tested in a game and keeps the heavy-gun ship within a hypothetical scenario.
