How much space would Azur Lane's port need?

Would Azur Lane's port need a landmass the size of Australia to contain all its facilities?

The panel considers Australia far too large. A large island and extensive anchorage could accommodate the imagined fleet, although the game's different timelines and off-site facilities make the total footprint uncertain.

The premise concerns Azur Lane's fictional port timeline. Its many facilities do not by themselves establish that they all occupy one continuous site, and some are described as elsewhere. The anime offers a rough visual comparison, with the caveat that it belongs to a different timeline. Tasmania is suggested as a generous possible scale for a fleet discussed as roughly 600 to 700 ships. Scapa Flow and the Chesapeake are raised as real comparisons for concentrating large numbers of vessels. Underground facilities add another uncertainty to estimates based only on visible buildings.
