How would the larger Royal Navy affect the United States Navy in the Pacific?
Short answerIt could encourage closer information sharing and either a joint fleet moving between theaters or a larger concentration in the Pacific.
NotesMore British ships create opportunities for earlier information sharing with the United States Navy. One possibility is a combined force moving around the world as different theaters demand attention. Another is to keep both navies concentrating their strength in the Pacific. Their common operational aim there would be to build up enough force to advance closer to Japan.
