A 1935 Royal Navy rearmament plan

With control of Royal Navy budgets and infrastructure from 1935 to 1949, what force should Britain build?

A balanced fleet of modernized capital ships, armored carriers, numerous destroyers and sloops, specialized submarines, oilers, and amphibious forces.

The proposed program rejects the 14-inch gun and favors modern 15-inch weapons for new and rebuilt battleships. It adds Implacable-like armored carriers, accelerates transfer of the Fleet Air Arm, and funds a 2,000-horsepower aircraft-engine program. Destroyer production would rise to roughly twenty-four a year and be matched by an equally large sloop program for convoy protection. Cruiser construction would mix 6-inch Town-class ships with a smaller force of 9.2-inch cruisers suited to hunting surface raiders. U-class submarines would concentrate in the Mediterranean, leaving S and T classes for northern and Far Eastern theaters. Fast fleet oilers, escort-carrier studies, landing platform docks, and integrated Royal Marines brigades would add the logistics and amphibious depth often missing from battleship-centered counterfactuals.
