The scenario must run from the end of World War I to some point in World War II rather than ending with an interwar design decision. The preferred scope reaches at least 1940, leaving room to show the ship in action or explain what wartime events it would encounter. Once war begins, interactions among ships, units, and campaigns rapidly multiply, making later consequences harder to contain. That complexity is part of the historical test: the saved ship must perform inside a changing conflict rather than simply exist in a fleet list. The chronology therefore tests operational as well as procurement consequences.
