Yamato built to British priorities

What would be different if Yamato had been designed and built by Britain?

It would likely be shorter and broader, make about 28 knots, and carry more dual-purpose guns for stronger sustained anti-aircraft defence.

British priorities would shape doctrine and hull proportions rather than make every weapon individually superior. More same-calibre dual-purpose guns would improve sustainable anti-aircraft coverage. British designers would also avoid settling for 27 knots when 28 knots marked the practical fast-battleship threshold. A squatter hull would support those changes in speed and stability.
