Norway is still expected to fall under the main counterfactual because extra ships alone do not solve the campaign's command and land problems. A narrower but less likely branch gives Henderson the Norway naval command. His operational and amphibious-warfare views could encourage earlier, more aggressive landings and closer coordination with troops ashore. The caveat matters: Henderson would probably remain Third Sea Lord until Fraser was trained and emergency destroyer designs were organised, making a Norway command possible but not the baseline outcome.

Giving Henderson the Norway naval command might produce faster, better-coordinated landings, but the video marks this as a lower-probability branch.
