Saint George and Saint David do not form a class list

The surviving name associations place Saint David and Saint George with different proposed ships, while Saint Patrick carried political complications.

Notes

Scattered suggestions are different from evidence for a coordinated class name. Saint David appears more often in association with the N3 battleships, while Saint George is sometimes linked to the G3 battlecruisers. Those separate associations do not establish that either design had a settled four-ship Saint theme. Saint Patrick would also have been a politically awkward choice while Ireland was breaking with Britain, which further weakens a neat patron-saints reconstruction.
