Is the industrial scenario too ambitious?

Is the proposed interwar industrial expansion too economically ambitious?

It depends on preserving more capacity through earlier naval orders, reducing the amount that later rearmament must rebuild.

The objection compares the proposed expansion with Britain's historical industrial difficulties. The response changes the investment path before those difficulties reached their worst point. Direct naval purchases and continued ship orders in the 1920s would preserve more of the infrastructure inherited from the First World War. Maintaining that capacity is presented as cheaper than rebuilding it after closure. The scenario therefore depends on earlier continuity of orders, while economic cuts still occur.
