Henderson's priorities: 15-inch guns, lifts, and sloops

What should Henderson have prioritized as Third Sea Lord?

More 15-inch guns, earlier deck-edge lift and Unicorn development, plus a larger sloop program shared with the Dominions.

Deck-edge lifts promise a much larger useful air group, though the Royal Navy's North Sea experience made it cautious about vulnerable deck openings. Earlier work on HMS Unicorn would strengthen carrier aviation support and experimentation. Escorts were also an industrial and imperial problem: a larger Commonwealth program could spread sloop construction and expand the fleet's anti-submarine capacity. These are linked choices about production priority and usable naval strength.
