If torpedo bomber live test runs show the potential effectiveness of aerial torpedo attacks on moving ships, what impact would that have on naval design. I could see purple faced, huffing and puffing naval architechts across the world go back to the drawing boards to design in better torpedo protection systems. Perhaps both for re-builds as well as new construction?

Depending on timing, how would that affect any naval building treaties? For one thing, any alterations for increased torpedo protection would impact ship displacements some, correct?. For another, you've perhaps made a better case for the effectiveness of carriers. Would that alter the calculus for the treaties

I imagine there'd be broader exemptions for TDS fitting work and displacement to existing ships as well as new ones.
