Design me a set of "rules of engagement" for carrier task forces fleet exercises, pitting RN and USN carriers, on an ongoing, at least once a year, basis, starting in 1929.
Bonus for joint training and proficiency demonstrations for carrier air groups, operating off each others carriers!
Double Bonus, if similar joint training can be extended to the RAF and the USAAF units.
Basically, I don't think that either nation had a carrier force that was as well trained as it could have been, nor even had the best equipment it could (and really should) have had, so what differences could we get in Sep 1st, 1939 to Dec 7, 1941, with the RN having had at least 10 training X's against/with USN carriers?
What I am looking for here is FAA getting all the aircraft they should have gotten but didn't, while the USN might just learn a thing or 5 from the RN, and not be so helpless and bumbling at the wars start.
How hard would it be to get a single, joint training mission in, around spring/summer, 1929, and what kind of a POD would lead to this being done at least yearly, come the early 1930's?
