If the R class establishes triple 15-inch turrets, its successor could carry twelve guns. The imagined ship is designed for at least 28 knots, with 28-30 knots used in the later estimate. Standard displacement is about 45,000 tons, possibly more. Its speed and battleship protection are expected to make a post-Jutland construction pause or extensive redesign unnecessary. It could continue through construction and enter service while filling gaps in the fleet. These are hypothetical specifications, without a completed historical design.
