How Sturdee might redirect post-Jutland naval policy

If Sturdee became First Sea Lord instead of Beatty, what policies might change?

Britain's Washington treaty position and carrier-conversion choices could shift, possibly toward converting Admiral-class hulls.

Sturdee is presented as the most likely replacement if Beatty fell after Jutland. His leadership could change Britain's posture at the Washington conference and the naval-procurement priorities that followed the war. One suggested consequence is converting Admiral-class hulls rather than Courageous and Glorious. That choice would preserve the large light battlecruisers in their original role while giving the carrier program a different material foundation.
