Question

What would the Norwegian Navy look like by 1920 if the war were delayed?

Short answer

It would receive its two British-built monitors and might add more coastal-defense ships, probably from Britain.

Notes

Norwegian procurement would remain tied to coastal defense and the strategic comparison with Sweden. British yard capacity and delivery schedules make another British order more likely than adopting a Swedish-derived design.
