View submission: The Olympic class if better technology where available
That's how i imagine it. Keeping the speed to 21 knots would come with massive operating cost reduction.
Keeping the same 46,000 HP could reach over 24.15 knots +15% using the bulbous bow. Bulbs can either reduce fuel consumption or
Add the wight reduction of the welded hull SS France had a similar displacement to Olympic despite having a larger hull thanks to France being welded could get Olympic to 25 knots or higher. The decision might be made to up the horse power allowing the new tech Olympic to reach 27 knots. Making Olympic and titanic a 2 ship service . Britannic might become something with weaker engines similar to Queen mary, Queen Elizabeth and Mauritania 2. With all 3 running the Atlantic 2 super express and an economy liner. Passenger numbers at the time would allow for that.
Olympic and Titanic forming a duo and Britannic being slightly smaller and much slower at say 23 knots.
There's nothing here!
