As any good student of modern Royal Naval history would know the last 3 Revenge class battleships were cancelled at the outbreak of the war due to the idea that the war would be over quickly. Due to Admiral Fisher's influence HMS Renown and HMS Repulse were reordered and completed as the Renown class battlecruisers. Suppose Admiral Fisher was able to get HMS Resistance reordered as a member of the Renown class as well. How would this affect the Royal Navy during WW1; the Interwar years including the various naval conferences(I personally think it means that the RN and USN both retain 16 capital ship post London Naval Treaty instead of 15); and of course the Second World War
