How would uninterrupted British capital-ship construction fare against submarines and German bombing?
Short answerProduction could converge on Implacable-like fast designs; domestic material sources limited submarine disruption, while bombing hurt yards but rarely made them a sustained priority target.
NotesBritain did not depend entirely on imported hull materials, so U-boats could not halt construction merely by attacking shipping. German bombing caused disruption, but major yards in Scotland, northeast and northwest England, and Northern Ireland often lay beyond the easiest attack routes and were not consistently singled out.
