In designing a replacement for the Washington cancelled G3, design F3 was considered. It was not chosen because the RN had to have 16" gun battleships to match the USN & IJN. WI I don't have to match you in one way prevailed. The RN would get 2 new 28 knot battleships carrying 3x3 15" guns. This would leave the RN with a core fleet of 14 battleships (5 Revenge, 5 Queen Elizabeth and 4 Iron Duke) and a faster 28 knot screening force of 6 battleships/battlecruisers (2 F3, 1 Hood, 2 Renown and 1 Tiger).
