An Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts scenario places radar aboard ships in 1930. Continuous battleship procurement and design work after the First World War might have accelerated shipboard radar development. Large warships supplied electrical power and carried technically skilled crews able to maintain delicate equipment, making them plausible development platforms. In this counterfactual, sustained construction would have preserved opportunities for technical experimentation that the interruption of major-warship building reduced.

Could continuous capital-ship building have accelerated naval radar?
A game scenario prompts a counterfactual about whether uninterrupted major-warship procurement could have brought radar to sea earlier.
