What if Britain transferred old dreadnoughts to Poland or Finland after World War I?
Short answerThey would gain ships stronger than Germany's available force and probably Russia's, while needing further infrastructure and modernisation.
NotesTransferred British 12-inch-gun dreadnoughts would give Poland or Finland more powerful ships than Germany could then field. They would probably also compare favourably with the Russian force envisaged in the answer. Supporting the ships would stimulate infrastructure construction, followed by further modernisation work. The transfer implies a continuing investment programme beyond acquiring the hulls.
