The counterfactual gives Britain additional destroyers in the interwar period by completing ships associated with the V and W programmes. About forty V and W ships form the core, with a broader total of roughly sixty once related destroyers are included. The scenario takes the Washington Naval Treaty's treatment of ships below 10,000 tons as allowing completion. Further possibilities include cancelled S-class ships and R-class vessels that could have been ordered. The consequences for Britain's fleet and decisions in the 1920s and 1930s remain open, with no answer supplied.
