187-477: The first four, and as a result of this assessment Royal Alfred , Zealous and Repulse were completed on different lines to the earlier ships, and, indeed to each other. In the 1860s rapid changes were taking place in the technology of armament production, and calibres were increasing by about an inch per year.

As a battleship normally took not less than three years to progress from laying-down to launch, and as at that time warship gun designs were being upgraded approximately annually, this was a real and serious problem. With this in mind, completion of Royal Alfred was delayed until a suitable heavy gun became available. Her armament
