The period between the Great War and World War II saw the Royal Navy shift its strategic focus towards Japan, recognizing its growing naval power as a significant threat. Starting in 1924, the War Memorandum (Eastern) outlined a plan to establish a fortified base in Singapore, aiming to intercept and engage Japan's battlefleet in decisive confrontations. The author explores the innovative tactics that emerged from this strategic pivot and their profound impact on naval strategy and thought during this pivotal era.
