Would Britain build a Channel motor-torpedo force?

Would the Royal Navy retain or build large numbers of motor torpedo boats as a quick Channel strike force?

Possibly, with the decision heavily influenced by how effectively French torpedo boats performed against the German invasion fleet.

A British small-craft program would depend on combat evidence. A successful French torpedo-boat attack on the invading fleet would provide a powerful operational lesson for British planners, while poor results would weaken the case. The technology alone would not guarantee adoption. Alternate procurement follows observed performance as well as abstract technical possibility.
