The prompt returns to the episode's no-hindsight rule and asks viewers to work within technology available in 1939. A credible answer must therefore balance aircraft capacity, protection, speed, machinery, and doctrine without importing the wartime experience of 1945. The exercise invites readers to apply the same constraints used throughout the counterfactual fleet discussions. No solution follows, making this a design challenge rather than an answered Q&A exchange.
