Your not going to build new 15" twins (well unlikely after all they did build 14" twins so not impossible) as it saves no time over building any other new mounts, so it would be most likely triples.One question I have is, just how long would new twin 15" gun turrets take to build, if they were exact copies of the guns and turrets no most British capitol ships left after the WNT? My idea would be to restart such gun/turret production, while building 6 Vanguard class ships, and to swap the guns/turrets off the old
They do have at least 4 on monitors, + 4 from LLCs + 2 (rebuild as 18" for Furious?) and the 40 (4x10) on QE & R class + 6 (3x2) R&R , and the 4 MK2 on Hood (but she would be rebuilt not lose her mounts etc...) that could be rebuilt for higher elevation, faster and cheaper than building new mounts.
(I think thats all the existing 15" mounts "A total of 186 guns, including two prototypes, and 58 turrets were manufactured between 1912 and 1918." Navweps, the 4+4+2 and 6 on R&R also fits with cancellation numbers of ships at start of WWI.)
