Explaining why the Provisional Navy would willingly downgrade the Valor is fairly easy, the warwolf is a forward cannon so it requires a very specific tactic of head on engagement or serves as a long range siege weapon. The provisional navy could simply say they prefer the added flexibility that removing the forward guns do in terms of space and power to add more general purpose weapons.

In addition counting that new government would most likely not invest much into militarization anymore. Mentality would be rather to demilitarize some Valors that they would possibly got and turn them into museums of a horrible previous regime or liners even.
Enclave would be rolling Valors and try get as many, keeping the old days fashion.
That's as far as ideology is concerned.
I would be convinced our design is superior if the Redemption would get a clean texture job instead of the rusty-blasty one we have currently. You are correct about investing into the economy more, but since the Enclave is still a threat I don't think demilitarisation is a priority, if an option at all. As far as ideology is concerned, while the Republic might not want to start a war, they aren't eager to remain defenseless either.
I wasn't clear enough. Line about demilitarization was about one Valor, that was for example to be turned into museum. But realistically i'd put defected Valors on conservation in order to be used if something BAD happens (like enclave trying to push or whatever). Majorly as a mobilization reserve. Economic growth and giant acting fleet are kind of self excluding things (in country that have suffered that much at least), but in the same time I by no means trying imagine republicans as dumb people who would fail to protect themselves. There's rich warfare experience behind their shoulders.
Maybe there would be some political strife that would make them weaker, but that's the other story.
Also I believe both have some valid points. But with low amount of Valors in Gallia now, It seems like there aren't any left for players of Republic. Come join the Enclave if you want Valor. <3
