If you took charge of the Royal Navy in 1914, what could you still plausibly change to strengthen it?
Short answerMeaningful changes required an earlier intervention; the alternative discussed is a counterfactual pair of 28-knot Tiger-type battlecruisers with 15-inch/42 guns.
NotesThe initial battlecruiser answer is followed by a timing qualification: by 1914, much of the Royal Navy's fleet was already determined. A reformer would need to intervene earlier to change those building decisions substantially. The alternative mentioned is a pair of Tiger-type battlecruisers with 15-inch/42 guns and a speed of 28 knots. That pair belongs to an earlier design counterfactual, rather than a demonstrated construction option available to someone first taking charge in 1914.
