Why the Royal Navy did not repeat Invergordon

The absence of another Invergordon is attributed to later Labour governments avoiding the policy choice that triggered the 1931 crisis.

Question

Why did the Royal Navy not experience another Invergordon-style mutiny later in the twentieth century?

Short answer

No later Labour government repeated the particular policy choice that provoked Invergordon in 1931.

Notes

The explanation centers on the government's decision in 1931. Later Labour governments did not repeat that particular policy choice.
