A flexible 3-3-2 British building programme

A viewer links recurring fast-battleship construction and battlecruiser reconstruction to threat response and Depression-era shipyard employment.

Notes

A viewer proposes a recurring 3-3-2 Royal Navy battleship programme, with authority to add another hull when an external threat appears. The schedule would establish a core of fast battleships while retaining Hood and Renown long enough to test whether reconstruction could preserve a battlecruiser hedge. The comment also treats extra construction and modernization as employment measures during the Great Depression, linking fleet replacement to continuity of shipyard work. The video gives no substantive reply, so this remains the viewer's counterfactual rather than an endorsed programme.
