I had hoped to avoid war, but if the French keep blowing up our ships, we must respond.

Feb 1921
Our submarines are more successful than theirs at sinking merchant ships, even though they have more.
Maybe we have better ASW escorts?

March 1921
While raiding the French coast, our CL centaur is hit and damaged by enemy aircraft.
This highlights that we need
- more AA guns on ships - better anti-torpedo defences - aircraft carriers with fighters to ward off air attacks

Since we are concerned about what technologies other countries have, we are building the Emerald CL and will be ordering ships of a similar design from other countries.

August 1922 -- N3 battleships
The government wants 3 new battleships. The N3 class have 9x18" guns and a speed of 25 kts. For budgetary reasons, armour is thicker over the magazines.
[Historical note: the hoistorical N3's only had a design speed of 23 kts, and armour was thick everywhere]

March 1924 -- Destroyers
Tensions are rising with France, so it's time to build destoryers
[Historical note: the historical Amazon didn't have 2x4" AA guns, and it was actually faster than this ship; the game models the speeds of destroyers as slower than they actually were. (Having said that, destoryers *were* slower in rough seas.)]
