Naval control helps Coastal Command only with continuity

Would RAF Coastal Command have worked better under Royal Navy control?

Probably only if naval control continued from the First World War; a late transfer would force the Navy to rebuild personnel and procedures nearly from scratch.

A continuous Royal Navy organization could preserve officers, doctrine, and operational understanding from the First World War. A transfer in 1927 or 1939 would not create instant competence, though it might reduce the mismatch between what the fleet expected and what air leadership communicated.
