Just flipped through the WC Bible, noticed something about the description preceding the Jutland class.
The Waterloo is post-scripted with the words-
"Waterloo-class cruisers are also configurable as carriers, with these modifications:"
Followed immediately by the Jutland stats.
The similarity in tonnage and lack of generalized stats seems to suggest that they're based on the same keel or even just varients of eachother rather than the Jutland being a totally new/different design.
Has anyone ever come to a consensus on this description? In a way if that were the case, it could clear up the whole Gettysburg being referred to as a carrier issue, if we assume that the name was simply a holdover after a carrier conversion.
