[QUOTE="smurf, post: 51507, member: 210"] For completeness? Re-reading [i]First Sea Lord: an authorised biography of Admiral Lord Fisher[/i] by Richard Hough, 1969 opposite p298 is a photograph of a rough sketch made by Fisher at 3am, Sept 17, 1912. This is of a 660ft, 700ft overall battlecruiser 10x16in guns with lots of notes handwritten all over, one of which says: [quote]16in armour on citadel and belt,[/quote] and another [quote]Jam up the citadel all that is possible right in the centre of hull - and squeeze the last inch in space so as to lessen amount of 16in armour. [/quote] I believe this to be the origin of the idea that there was an AON version of Incomparable 1915, 1000ft, with 16in armour and guns. [i]I've edited this slightly, as I fouled it up a bit first time.[/i] [/QUOTE]
