A more numerous and successful carrier force changes the bureaucratic history of British naval aviation. If carriers have already demonstrated major wartime value and form a substantial share of the fleet, the Royal Navy has a stronger case for retaining direct control of their aircraft. The service would be unlikely to hand over such a large component as it did historically. Beatty's enhanced political standing after alternate victories at Dogger Bank and Jutland would make the naval case even harder to defeat.

Earlier carrier success keeps naval aviation in the fleet
A larger and more successful carrier arm would be too central for the Royal Navy to surrender institutional control.
