Revenge-class
Nelson-class
King George V-class
An item dated London, England 19th reported that the cabinet decided not to approve a post for new building on the navy budget but to wait for the report of a commission examining the replacement of old battleships by new ones. Despite this decision was the navy budget 4 million pond sterling higher as the year before. This was caused by the building of a super dreadnought (1) now nearing her completion and the first major payment for five battleships (2) of which the building a year earlier was approved. If the disarmament conference was not held, intended the admiralty to come before the end of the fiscal year with new proposals.
Notes
1. The HMS Rodney and Nelson, both laid down in 1922 were commissioned in 1927. The 34.490-41.250 (full load) tons battleship Nelson was launched on 3 September 1925 at Armstrong-Whitworth, England.
2. The first battleships to be built after the Nelson and Rodney were the King George V-class of battleships of which the design process started in 1928. As a result of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 was the building process delayed until not earlier as in 1935 was started with planning. The building of the N-3-class around 48.000 tons battleships and which were to succeed the Revenge-class of 1913 was never ordered. The Nelson and Rodney were the only British battleships realized between the Revenge and King George V-classes. The Revenge-class consisted of the Revenge, Resolution, Royal Oak, Royal Sovereign and Ramillies, the Resistance was cancelled and the Renown and Repulse completed as battle cruisers. The King George V-class consisted of the King George V, Prince of Wales, Duke of York, Howe and Anson.
