Adding King George V and Victorious to the Denmark Strait counterfactual

A hypothetical stronger British force pairs King George V with Prince of Wales, leaves Hood independent, and places Victorious close enough to launch air strikes.

Notes

The idealized British force adds King George V and Victorious to the ships already discussed. King George V would operate with Prince of Wales, while Hood retained freedom to manoeuvre independently. Victorious would need to be close enough for her aircraft to strike. The resulting concentration of firepower is judged overwhelming for Bismarck.
