The Revenge II design is refitted around twelve 16.5-inch guns with a maximum range of about 44 kilometres, then uses remaining displacement to improve speed and balance. More six-inch guns strengthen the secondary battery. Three-inch weapons are retained to answer repeated encounters with destroyers. The resulting Jupiter design treats modernization as a connected set of compromises rather than a simple main-gun upgrade.
