If Fisher remained First Sea Lord until 1914

How might the Royal Navy change if Fisher remained First Sea Lord until 1914 and died on 10 July?

More ships, larger guns, and earlier oil firing are suggested. The later deterrence scenario imagines Fisher advising during the crisis despite the question's earlier death date.

A longer Fisher tenure could bring more battlecruisers, although politicians would still press for battleships. His preference for orders of at least six ships could also increase annual construction. Larger jumps in gun calibre, possibly through 14-inch and 16-inch weapons, fit the proposed pursuit of peace through technological superiority. Small-tube boilers and oil firing would receive stronger support, with coal firing for the R class ruled out in this interpretation. The later speculation gives Fisher a more forceful role in cabinet and imagines fleet exercises off Germany as a warning. That part of the argument does not consistently retain the question's proposed death on 10 July. If the 1914 war were delayed, deteriorating Anglo-Russian relations and reduced German naval construction could also change Britain's diplomatic position.
