I would be interested in the RN's response to decolonization and development of a Co-Dominion with ex-colonies. I could see the Navy offer the new nations older and smaller units initially as OTL, while taking orders for new builds. The Navy should consider using these orders to renovate and upgrade selected British shipyards. Develop a Army/Marine support ship class based loosely on the Centaur class, similar to the later Iwo Jima class. Place small task forces of six or eight ships at major ports to provide rapidly deployed forces for emergencies.
The post war prop planes were adequate until better jet powered aircraft were developed. However, you must work through the early jet development cycle. Just buy fewer per type. The post war Navy must cut ships and crew quickly from the older, hard worked designs to cut costs. It should develop a solid core of Reservists. The Navy should realistically review the lessons of the late war. It should plan of fighting both a smaller similar war and try to predict future naval strategies and tactics.
