A Vickers triple turret could reshape Dreadnought

What was the Vickers 1905 triple-turret proposal, and how could it affect Dreadnought?

A 14-inch triple mounting may have been developed far enough to influence Lord Nelson; adopting it would likely give Dreadnought centerline and superfiring turrets instead of wing mounts.

There is evidence for a 1905 Vickers triple-turret concept, although the precise degree of construction remains under investigation. If the Royal Navy standardized such a 14-inch mounting in the Lord Nelson program, Dreadnought would inherit the larger gun and turret practice. Triple main-battery turrets are poor wing mountings, so the historical arrangement becomes unlikely. The resulting ship would probably resemble a later centerline design such as Orion, with superfiring pairs and a fifth turret amidships.
