Major navies usually watched one another's development closely, which made a wholly unexpected leap in capital-ship design unlikely by the late interwar period. Radar is named as one of the few technologies that some fleets possessed while others remained at a serious disadvantage. The fleet carrier is the other candidate even though naval aviation itself was already widespread. Both technologies are presented as possible discontinuities rather than a single undisputed second Dreadnought moment.

Radar and fleet carriers as naval discontinuities
Radar and the fleet carrier are suggested as possible interwar discontinuities, without agreement on a single equivalent to Dreadnought.
