A little while ago, Ace passed on his WIP of HMS Incomparable to me for detailing. Ace had completed 90% of the drawing and it only required detailing which I have done.

With little more than the line drawing to work from, I have used parts from the Renown and Courageous classes to complete it.
In my view if Incomparable was to be proceeded with, it would have been laid down in 1917 and could not have completed before 1922, especially with the go slow that unfinished ships at the end of WW1 were subject to. While the original drawing reflects those ships then being built (Renown and Courageous classes) the final design would have more reflected the later designs of the Admiral class and Furious. I.e. the secondary battery would have gone away from the triple 4" and replaced them with the 5.5" guns fitted to the later designs, with the 4" AA guns as per those on Hood.
If anybody has any views on this prior to me doing my rendition, I am willing to listen to views other than my own
