A revised Lion design and the problem of stern aviation

What is the assessment of a revised Lion-hull battleship with three triple 16.5-inch mountings, ten twin 5.25-inch mountings, and stern aviation facilities?

The answer questions the stern aviation arrangement because British practice favored launching across the beam in rough seas; it does not fully assess the proposed armament or protection.

The proposed Lion-hull design has three triple 16.5-inch mountings, ten twin 5.25-inch mountings, and aviation facilities aft. A later part of the prompt adds twelve octuple pom-pom mounts and twenty-six 20 mm mounts. The answer concentrates on where the aircraft would launch. British practice favored launching across the beam in rough seas, which raises a practical question about the stern arrangement. The exchange does not provide a complete review of the proposed battleship.
