  2. Except the Nelson class launched with 16” guns in 1923, and development / improvement continued specifically because the Admiralty wanted a gun available when it was again allowed to build ships with 16” guns. These 16” guns would have been carried by the Lion class, if they been built. I do not think the Admiralty would have sanctioned the building of a battleship, in the late 1930s, that would have carried WW1-age 13.5 inch rifles.
