Ну результат досить прогнозуємий. А тепер трохи про те як працював Фішер коли потрібна була швидкість: The design for the Minotaur class of armoured cruiser, mounting four 9.2-inch guns in two twin turrets on the centreline (one forward and one aft) and ten single 7.5-inch turrets (five each to port and starboard), completed just before Jacky Fisher returned to the Admiralty in October 1904. With his intent to build new types of high-speed ships carrying uniform armament, which would come to be famously known as dreadnoughts, it was logical for Fisher to examine the recently completed designs of battleship and armoured cruiser to see if they could be altered to uniform armament ships. The battleship was not a prospect but the armoured cruiser design seemed amenable to such an alteration. On December 29th, 1904 Fisher issued instructions that the possibility of altering the Minotaur design to carry sixteen 9.2-inch guns was to be examined. The below sketch was drawn up at that meeting with the additional note that the investigation was “very urgent”:
After an investigation the following was ascertained as possible:
Minotaur with 16x9.2-inch guns.
DNC.
The present arrangement of 4x9.2-inch + 10x7.5-inch could be relaced by 16x9.2-inch in pair mountings on an increased draft of 6-inches; i.e. a legend draft of 26½ feet.
It would be necessary to make some small adjustments of boiler room bulkheads.
The approximate metacentric height would be 2¾ feet and range (with closed up forecastle) about 55˚.
As the 7.5-inch mountings are ordered it is desirable that an early decision should be given if the change is to be made.
Herewith are rough sketches showing the arrangements.
W.H.W. 30/12/04. Т.є. це не була абстрактна записка, а особиста зустріч з ДНС, на якій вирішувались основні параметри бажаної конструкції і далі ДНС проводив проробку більш детальну проекта з помічниками. В тому числі і з головним інженером флота. Якщо ви не бачите, але між першим варіантом і другим змінилась масса машинної установки. І розміри теж, що логічно. Т.є вміститись в вказанні массу і розміри ну не захотіла. Тепер питання, можливо це було чи ні? Можливо, але на нових засадах. Ніхто цього робити не захотів. Аж до момента коли проєктувались БКрЛ де після крайньої невдоволенності Фішера проєктом Р-Р він більшість рішень приймав сам
