Why the Revenge class is remembered less than its workload

Why is the Revenge class comparatively forgotten despite doing so much of the Royal Navy's hard work?

Because the ships were useful workhorses rather than glamorous or technically fashionable capital ships.

The Revenge class's relative obscurity comes from image rather than inactivity. The ships performed much of the fleet's hard work, yet they were not the newest, fastest, or most visually celebrated capital ships. Popular narratives tend to favor vessels that appear technically exceptional or dramatically modern. Dependable workhorses can become less famous precisely because their service looks routine.
