A 1943 Allied victory would favor Malta carriers and completed Lions

What Royal Navy follows an Allied victory in 1943 and a three-way postwar rivalry among Britain, America, and the Soviet Union?

Britain would prioritize Malta carriers and cruisers, might finish the Lions, and would compete with America without necessarily entering a true Anglo-American Cold War.

An Allied victory over Germany and Japan by 1943 would leave the battleship less clearly obsolete than it appeared in 1945. Britain would have a strong reason to complete Malta-class carriers for reach and large air groups, while the Lion-class battleships could also survive cancellation. Cruisers and carriers would receive the first emphasis in the next fleet program. The proposed three-way Cold War is less convincing because Britain and the United States had fought as allies and had long managed naval competition without treating each other as existential enemies. They might enter a qualitative race in nuclear weapons or ships, but that relationship would differ from the conflict with the Soviet Union.
