How a stronger Commonwealth might organize naval procurement

How might frigate procurement work in a stronger postwar British Commonwealth?

Probably through a joint design and procurement bureau that standardized ships and systems across participating navies, with Britain acting as the keystone power.

Type 81 replacements in a non-declining imperial scenario would be shaped by many connected factors rather than tonnage alone. A joint design and procurement bureau could produce ships for several participating navies, with common systems creating economies of scale. Britain would still be the major and backstop power, so its requirements would be large and difficult rather than uniquely simple to predict. Procurement therefore depends on shared institutions and roles across the participating navies rather than on one British displacement figure.
