Reconstructing Argincourt from archives and simulation limits

The archival hypothesis remains separate from the compromises needed to represent an unbuilt ship in Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts.

Notes

No decisive Argincourt document has yet been found, despite design studies and related records that point toward this reconstruction. Continued work in the National Archives could confirm or overturn the hypothesis, and a correction would be welcome if the evidence demands it. The game model adds a second layer of uncertainty because it cannot reproduce every historical gun or date combination. A 15-inch/47 weapon serves as the closest available stand-in, while Furious's actual 18-inch/40 guns are contrasted with a suspected 18-inch/45 development path. The passage keeps archival inference, historical hardware, and simulation constraints analytically separate.
