The counterfactual borrows the funding model used for the 15-inch/42 gun. The same approach is applied to other projects by moving naval support into an earlier stage of development. The test is whether funding an existing proposal sooner could make it ready when a ship programme needed it. This gives the scenario a historical procurement precedent without guaranteeing the outcome of each project.
