The Admiralty decided to build three more King Edward VIIs (with a mixture of 12-inch, 9.2-inch and 6-inch (152 mm)) in the 1903–04 naval construction programme instead.
Admiralitetet besluttede imidlertid i stedet at bygge yderligere tre slagskibe af King Edward VII-typen (med en blanding af 12-tommer, 9,2-tommer og 6-tommer) i byggeprogrammet for 1903-04.
