Eastern Fleet funding and Pacific war pressure

Would the Pacific campaign have been easier if the Royal Navy's Eastern Fleet had the same funding as the Mediterranean Fleet?

Yes. A fully funded Eastern Fleet built around Singapore, Trincomalee, Bombay, and other bases would have changed Japanese planning and Indian Ocean access.

Jellicoe's idea of three principal fleets required Eastern Fleet infrastructure linking Singapore, Trincomalee, Ceylon, and Bombay in a stronger forward posture. Bases and sustainment matter as much as ships when judging how hard it would be for Japan to reach or neutralize British naval power.
