William White's most important class and favorite ship

What was the best ship designed under Sir William Henry White?

The Royal Sovereigns were his most important class, while HMS Renown was the favorite individual ship.

Historical importance and personal preference produce different answers when judging Sir William White's large body of warship designs. The Royal Sovereign class helped establish the mature pre-dreadnought type and therefore ranks as White's most important class. HMS Renown was arguably less powerful but is the preferred individual ship. The distinction lets viewers compare influence on naval architecture with the qualities that make a single design attractive.
