Building the 1938 raider-hunting group by navy

Which British, American, and Japanese ships could form the proposed raider-hunting task group in 1938?

Britain and Japan can field the full concept; the United States has excellent carriers but no fast capital ship and a less mature destroyer force.

Britain and Japan could supply fast capital ships and carriers for the proposed 1938 group, while the United States lacked a comparable fast gunship and would rely more heavily on carriers. Tribal-class destroyers are suggested for Britain. The American discussion names Somers, Warrington, Sampson and Davis, alongside Bagley, Gridley and older destroyers, and also mentions the first Brooklyns. These American destroyers are judged as designs shaped by a torpedo-first doctrine that compromised their value as gun platforms. The familiar wartime US fleet had yet to appear, with the major funding increase placed around 1939.
