If Jackie Fisher's 1915 resignation were rejected

What changes if Jackie Fisher does not leave office in 1915?

The planned Admiral-class program is more likely to proceed, but conflict with Jellicoe or government probably ends Fisher's tenure later.

Fisher is described as tendering a resignation expecting it to be rejected, as earlier threats had been. If the government refused it again, the planned Admiral-class ships gain a better chance of proceeding. His volatile relationship with senior naval leadership still makes a later removal or resignation plausible. The institutional distinction is between the First Sea Lord, the serving head of the Navy, and the First Lord of the Admiralty or prime minister. Fisher could direct doctrine and carry out operations and policy, while elected ministers retained the authority to set that policy.
