Which World War I or World War II naval battle or campaign would be most appealing to command?
Short answerThe Norwegian campaign, because better coordination could prevent the carrier from operating alone and correct several avoidable command failures.
NotesMidway is the favourite battle, but Norway is the campaign most worth changing through command. The first correction would be to stop any aircraft carrier from being sent away on its own. That choice stands for a broader effort to coordinate the campaign more coherently. Command failures and force protection matter more here than treating Norway as an unavoidable operational defeat.
