Just out of curiosity, what's the deal with the spotting tower in the bow? That doesn't make sense, because if you're in the hull you're lower than the turret gunners, which means you have less visibility. Was it supposed to be an elevated position? It also strikes me as odd that the Admiralty was

The Brits did a test in 1913, IIRC, and found that the bow position was actually free of cordite and funnel smoke more often than not and wanted to add these positions to the new ships, but the war intervened. The Revenge class were actually 23-knotters, not the standard 21. I had to double-check

Both Campbell and Rohwer are in the References section but have not been cited. Either move them to a further reading section or delete them.

This is extremely long and uses the word "machinery" three times. Maybe "propulsion system" or something can be substituted.

s displaced slightly more, though they were much shorter. Are we talking length? Regardless, it should be specified.

fine with a pair of 19-knot BBs, but I guess by that point in the arms race, money wasn't as freely available.
