I'm a fan of Keynes Cruisers but I have not narrowed down exactly what the PoD was and how substantially different WW2 is going to end up being.... would asking for you to succinctly summarize your thoughts on what you are trying to do with your story so I can enjoy it with more precision? `~`

I'm very slowly working my way through the first part of "Keynes' Cruisers," and while reading about the preparations in the Philippines I was wondering - have you ever read "The Fleet the Gods Forgot"? It's a very detailed account of each ship of the Asiatic Fleet in late '41/early '42, and of their crews.

Ever read George MacDonald Fraser's "McAuslan" stories? One of them is "Johnnie Cope in the Morning". In this battalion, the pipe band blows reveille every Friday, by playing "Hey Johnnie Cope" at full blast just outside the junior subalterns' quarters.
