		The limiting step in capital ship construction time was the production of main guns, including the mountings and turrets, which itself had to be preceded by outline ship design work.
		While the Admiralty would have preferred to wait for a new treaty to have been finalised, it needed to place gun contracts for its new battleships before the talks had concluded in order to get them in service in 1940 (to match the Bismarck and Tirpitz).
		This deadline, and to keep them within Great Britain’s own policies on gun calibre and existing treaty limits on tonnage during the talks, profoundly influenced the ship’s design.
