Choose one naval change for January 1937

The closing exercise asks viewers to choose one navy and one feasible 1937 intervention in procurement, training, or leadership.

Notes

The closing counterfactual limits the viewer to one navy and one intervention on 1 January 1937. Possible changes include ordering an individual ship, accelerating a class already under construction, restructuring training, or promoting a particular officer. Those constraints direct attention to a feasible early choice rather than an unlimited redesign of a country's armed forces. The prompt asks which intervention could most usefully widen a minor navy's later wartime options, and viewers supply their own answer.
