Would the Dutch build their proposed battlecruisers and France build a Richelieu-class successor?
Short answerPossibly, especially for the Dutch, but industrial lead times mean the ships would probably arrive only after the war that created the demand.
NotesThe Netherlands might complete one or two of its proposed battlecruisers because the war would demonstrate a clear requirement. They would not arrive in time to influence the conflict that prompted them. France might likewise pursue a successor to the Richelieu class. Whether that ship reached service would still depend on yard capacity and construction time, the same constraints that limited German and Japanese acceleration. Strategic demand can justify a program without guaranteeing timely delivery.
