The Queen Elizabeths were the first battleships to be armed with 15-inch (381 mm) guns, and were described in the 1919 edition of Jane's Fighting Ships as "the most successful type of capital ship yet designed."
Fartygsklassen var de första slagskeppen som bestyckades med 15-tums (380 mm) kanoner och beskrevs i 1919 års upplaga av Jane's Fighting Ships som "den finaste klassen av stora fartyg hittills."
