I would think that westernization/modernize without Peter I would have been piecemeal, as I’ve mentioned it.

Who was the heir presumptive in this case? I'm guessing that without Peter's eagerness for Westernization, Tsarist Russia wouldn't have been able to develop its navy, or the navy as we know it. I would suspect that Russian modernization would be a lot slower, piecemeal at best.
