Dutch battlecruisers as the core of a stronger Force Z

How would completed Dutch battlecruisers have been used in Allied service?

They could integrate with British forces and help form a larger, carrier-backed Force Z or ABDA striking force.

Two Dutch battlecruisers could have joined British forces in the Atlantic or Indian Ocean before returning as part of a coordinated Far Eastern deployment. Their presence would strengthen the case for adding a carrier and another capital ship to Prince of Wales and Repulse, giving ABDA a more coherent surface core. Service alongside Free Dutch and British forces would also create the integration experience missing from the historical improvised command. The counterfactual shows how available ships can reshape theater organization by attracting escorts, air cover, and a stronger command structure around them.
