How Western Anatolia would reshape Greek naval planning

Holding Western Anatolia would push Greece toward destroyers, submarines, and coastal artillery suited to defending the Aegean littoral.

Question

How would a Greek victory in the Greco-Turkish War and control of Western Anatolia affect naval procurement?

Short answer

Greece would probably buy more destroyers and submarines and strengthen coastal artillery for a defensive Aegean strategy.

Notes

A Greek victory leaving Western Anatolia in Greek hands would probably increase demand for destroyers and submarines. The anticipated naval task is defensive, with artillery positions accompanying the additional ships. Procurement would concentrate on defending those waters and coasts.
