What a surviving Queen Mary might teach the fleet

What if Queen Mary survived the hit at Jutland with only the turret burning?

She would likely fall out of line and possibly return home, where evidence from the damage could influence later British ship design and procedures.

A turret fire severe enough to threaten the ship would force Queen Mary out of the battle line. She might withdraw for repairs or return directly to port rather than continue the engagement. Survival would preserve physical evidence and crew testimony that were lost in the historical explosion. The Royal Navy could then apply those lessons to flash protection, ammunition handling, or later ships sooner and with greater confidence.
