Continuous shipbuilding and Germany's loss of design experience

Could Britain neutralise German naval power through sustained construction without naval treaty limits?

Steady construction could preserve British experience while German restrictions eroded it, potentially narrowing the German threat to submarines.

Continued British construction would improve ships through successive design generations. German inability to build comparable ships would erode practical experience and institutional memory. The advantage therefore depends on continuity alongside spending. One possible result is a German threat concentrated on submarines, simplifying Britain's defensive problem. A regular programme could create that gap without unlimited expenditure.
