What would Britain need if a naval emergency drove it to build the largest feasible Type 83 quickly?
Short answerThe scenario depends on bringing a large construction dock back into use, tentatively identified as Inchgreen. It also returns to the panel's speculation about allied ship comparisons and American procurement.
NotesThe scenario imagines a naval emergency prompting Britain to build Type 83 quickly and at the largest feasible size. Reactivating a large construction dock is proposed to support that ambition. Inchgreen is tentatively identified as the relevant facility. The discussion then links a larger British ship to its earlier speculation about American reactions to allied ship size and possible construction of the Defiant concept.
