Following the consequences of an alternate naval building program

An alternate campaign follows a daily historical chronology so that earlier shipbuilding decisions and losses affect the forces available later.

Notes

Daniel first changes the Royal Navy's building programs, then follows the war forward using naval daily chronologies. Naval-History.net supplies the sequence against which he considers altered encounters and keeps track of losses. That method forces later events to inherit earlier changes, such as U-boats lost before they can join subsequent patrols. It also exposes how accelerated escorts, weapons, carriers, and aircraft combine over time. The resulting campaign remains a counterfactual whose losses depend on the assumptions assigned to each encounter.
