The G3 battlecruisers were a class of battlecruisers planned by the Royal Navy after the end of World War I in response to naval expansion programs by the United States and Japan. The four ships of this class would have been larger, faster and more heavily armed than any existing battleship (although several projected foreign ships would be larger). The G3s have been considered to be proper "fast battleships" since they were well-balanced designs with adequate protection. Nonetheless the class was officially designated as a "battlecruiser" due to their higher speed and lesser firepower and armour relative to the planned N3 class battleship design. The G3s carried nine guns and were expected to achieve , while the N3s would carry nine guns on the same displacement at the expense of a slower

  • The G3 battlecruisers were a class of battlecruisers planned by the Royal Navy after the end of World War I in response to naval expansion programs by the United States and Japan. The four ships of this class would have been larger, faster and more heavily armed than any existing battleship (although several projected foreign ships would be larger). The G3s have been considered to be proper "fast battleships" since they were well-balanced designs with adequate protection. Nonetheless the class was officially designated as a "battlecruiser" due to their higher speed and lesser firepower and armour relative to the planned N3 class battleship design. The G3s carried nine guns and were expected to achieve , while the N3s would carry nine guns on the same displacement at the expense of a slower speed. The G3 design was approved by the Board of Admiralty on 12 August 1921. Orders were placed in October—November, but were suspended later in November with the beginning of the Washington Naval Conference which limited battleship numbers. The orders were cancelled in February 1922 with the ratification of the Washington Naval Treaty which limited construction to ships of no more than displacement.
