The outcome of the imagined war is less important than what the combined fleets would learn from one another. Joint operations would require communication systems and other technologies to be shared or made compatible. Exposure to different battleship, submarine, and cruiser practices could change each navy's design assumptions. The scenario also asks whether cooperation with carrier powers would push Germany or Italy toward aircraft carriers, making this an experiment in alliance learning as well as strategy.

How a coalition war could change fleets and technology
Operating together would force the imagined alliance to share communications and reconsider battleships, submarines, cruisers, and carrier development.
