I can't recall the details of Plan Z, but if the Germans had the time to build more warships (presumably not when locked in a death struggle with the rest of the world), then the British would have had the time to wake up and build comparable numbers of ships.
That was one thing that was assumed in ShatteredWorld - i.e. that the German build up didnt happen in a vacuum - the Allies saw the size of their new BB's and their fleet and built up accordingly - of course there the Japanese also started with a much bigger fleet as well including the Design A-150 battleship - i.e the Super Yamato
