A World War II US Navy appearing in 1910

What if the World War II US Navy and its infrastructure appeared in 1910?

The naval balance would shift sharply; Britain is imagined responding with faster battleships and 16.5-inch guns while Germany fears the threat to its submarines.

The scenario includes the World War II US Navy's supporting infrastructure, which lets it sustain its technological advantage in 1910. Germany would have strong reason to fear American entry into the coming war because of the threat to its submarines, while Japan would face a much stronger naval rival. Britain's suggested response is a Queen Elizabeth design with 16.5-inch guns and a speed above 28 knots. The gun calibre is proposed because the answer considers it the largest that could be readied in time for those ships. Britain would still lack some of the transferred fleet's technology. A Babylon 5 analogy illustrates the attempt to appear competitive by building visibly powerful ships.
