A British maritime strategy adopted in 1980

What if Britain chose a larger navy, smaller professional army, and adequate air force in 1980?

The navy could grow markedly by 1990, with Super Harriers and much larger successors to the Invincible class.

Choosing a navy-centered defense posture in 1980 would first provoke a major NATO burden-sharing discussion. If sustained for the remaining decade of the Cold War, however, it could grow British maritime capacity substantially. The Super Harrier program becomes more likely to reach service. Invincible-class successors could also move closer to renewed CVA-01-scale fleet carriers rather than remaining small through-deck cruisers.
