Either us or Russia, although he did want the Amerika Bomber, so he could have gone for the US, but it would have been a one way trip and not easily repeatable.
The P-80 was about, just not ready for combat service. If intel had picked up that the Nazis had a jet bomber ready with a nuke, I think the P-80 would have made a much earlier launch into service and to hell with the chances of it crashing.

I see. How about retrofits, I mean Oscar-II->Oscar-III is a mid life repair with a retrofit.

They could possibly use the Vanguard once the Dreadnaught (I still prefer the name 'Successor', Dreadnaught should be used for a surface vessel imho) class is introduced, but I doubt it. If anything is going to get retrofitted it'd be something like a small coastal patrol boat.
