Good work, Perdedor. Looks pretty spot-on.
I was thinking the EPK/Pyrkal "light machine gun" would be introduced as historical in 1939. Let me think a bit more on submachine guns - perhaps something ahistoric for them?

The seperate naval air arm will be much larger due to the big carrier fleet. Seven wings of 36 aircraft each, plus seaplanes and flying boats.

Greek Submarine Development
Greece started with three French built submarines pre ww1. Greece watched developments during the Dardanelles campaign where a single German submarine forced the withdraw of heavy fire support ships and RN & RAN submarines penetrated the straits and operated against Turkish shipping in the Sea of Mamara. The conclusions were that submarines were a grave threat to a seaborne invasion and only submarines can penetrate the Dardanelles. Greece has largely ignored the war on merchant tonnage as it failed but in the face of defended targets (convoy) by 1918, two out of every three attacks were on the surface at night. With the CT dictating smaller submarines coupled with Greeces need for opposing an invasion force and possible operations in and past the Dardanelles, the submarine staff have eliminated the gun from the needs of a Greek submarine. Post war development started with the aquisition of RN R-Class submarines because they were capable of high underwater speeds (the current in the Dardanelles is about 3 knots from the Black Sea) and they were on the disposal list. The four ex-R class (Hermês Class) were followed by slightly improved versions built locally, the Nemesis class running to twenty two units. The Nemesis replaced the Hermês Class's 6x18" torpedoes with 4 harder hitting 21" topredoes. The high speed submarines are short legged so a series of special transports have been built to move submarines to operational areas. These transorts have also been found to be usefull in carrying the navy's X-lighters (landing craft). Following exercises, a new transport design better suited for both submarine transport and X-lighter transport are to begin construction this year.

Here's the list of the Delphinos-class - seventeen units since 1932. Nemesis-class appears to be an improvement on the Hermes, which is in turn an improvement of a WWI British R-class.
- Delphinos (S30) - laid down Q2/32.
- Aphrodite (S31) - laid down Q4/32.
- Astra (S32) - laid down Q3/33.
- Boreas (S33) - laid down Q3/33.
- Diktynna (S34) laid down Q2/34.
- Hephaistos (S35) laid down Q2/34.
- Nike (S36) laid down Q3/34.
- Persephone (S37) laid down Q3/34.
- Phobos (S3 laid down Q3/34.
- Porphyrion (S39) laid down Q3/34.
- Phorcys (S40) laid down Q2/35.
- Oreithyia (S41) laid down Q2/35.
- Morpheus (S42) laid down Q2/35.
- Melinoe (S43) laid down Q3/35.
- Lampetia (S44) laid down Q4/35.
- Kratos (S45) laid down Q4/35.
- Kalligeneia (S46) laid down Q4/35.
Not finding any Springsharps for the other boats, I'm going to attempt to make some Springsharps for R, the Hermes, and the 21" Nemesis over lunch. (Edit: Brock headdesks after realizing the Hermes-class is ex-RN R-boats.)
