Effect of a 28kt+ Queen Elizabeth class battleship

Just want to point out with the R's although design work was done on being coal powered were actually built as oil only.
Revenge is a ship best served coaled?

Given that only two R's made it to Jutland it would have been little loss if the lot/rest of them had be reordered as battlecruisers. Three BBs were cancelled to order two BCs. So it would be reasonable to expect that after the first two are laid the rest can be replaced in the order book as four Renown class BCs.

Under armoured but plenty of hull space to change things later. The Renown class 27ft draught is painfully shallow for such a long and massive warship. Laying heavier in the water should be an option, given some careful all/nothing armour. You are more likely to get a treaty permitted refit towards a fast battleship (one turret short) than from the Revenge short hull with a fixed roll rate.
