The United Kingdom was not far behind, deciding in 1912 to use oil on its own in the Queen Elizabeth class; shorter British design and building times meant that Queen Elizabeth was commissioned before either of the Nevada-class vessels.
Storbritannien var ikke langt bagefter, og besluttede i 1912 at bruge olie i Queen Elizabeth klassen; kortere britiske design- og byggetider betød at Queen Elizabeth blev taget i drift inden begge de to skibe i Nevada klassen.
