Overview
After Japan refused to provide data on the battleships they were building, the countries that had signed the London Naval Treaty of 1936 decided to raise the tonnage of the ships planned for construction. The British Admiralty, which had laid down five King George V-class battleships, planned projects on their basis but with smaller displacement. A total of four battleships were ordered, two of which were of the Lion class. They were laid down in 1939, but amid the outbreak of World War II, their construction was postponed and then canceled.
