With original planned design features similar to the Nelson's, the N3 class ships would have been considerably larger in all aspects, with thicker armour and nine 18 inch guns, all mounted forward in three triple turrets. They would have topped 50,000 tons displacement and been amongst the most powerful warships afloat, representing the height of the dreadnought concept within the Royal Navy. Although names were never officially given, they have since been linked to the four patron saints of the UK.
SLOW 1: At the beginning of your Sea Movement phase, roll a die. On a 1, this unit gets -1 speed this turn.
EXTENDED RANGE 5: While undamaged, this unit can make range-4 or range-5 Main Gunnery attacks using its range-3 attack value.
TORPEDO DEFENSE 1: Each torpedo hit rolled against this unit deals 1 less point of hull damage.

Guys, this ship was rated to have a maximum speed of 23 kts. That is "Slow 1" in WaS. Nelson class is also 23 kts, Warspite is 23.5 kts and both are slow 1. I don't know if you want to drop the cost a little for that or not. Probably.

Well, you guys finally managed to slip in a Hull 6 battleship for the Brits!
I am fine with "what if" ships, but it takes me an hour or two longer to find and/or make silhouettes and "photos" for them. Note that the silhouette and the photo show two slightly different interpretations of the design. I think that just makes it more interesting.
I noticed that World of Warships called theirs St. Vincent, and a web site dedicated to "what if" ships called it the St. Andrew's class. So they can't claim we copied them!
