A 1936 British rearmament programme built around sea power

What would you do as a British prime minister from 1936 with guaranteed re-election?

Accelerate carriers, sloops, ships, industry, and radar while using a stronger conventional deterrent instead of unconditional appeasement.

The naval programme would accelerate carrier, battleship, and sloop construction while preserving yards instead of paying them to close. Radar and fighter development would be pushed alongside sea power so that British rearmament did not reproduce the interwar faith in the bomber alone. The panel would use prizes and procurement guarantees to accelerate high-power aero engines, machine tools, and production capacity. Dispersing new factories into the Welsh valleys, Scottish Highlands, and other deprived areas would make industry harder to attack while spreading employment. The strategy pairs material preparation with a willingness to demand concessions in each crisis, arguing that deterrence fails if an opponent learns that pressure produces no cost.
