Buying a navy from the fastest production lines

If a country pursued a rapid naval rearmament like Poland's recent vehicle purchases, where should it buy ships?

South Korean and Japanese yards offer the quickest hull production, but missile and equipment supply chains can still dictate delivery speed.

South Korean and Japanese production lines are favoured for rapid hull construction in the proposed rearmament scenario. French frigates and British Type 31s are also considered, while Italy is added at the end of the exchange. Even these options would require years because builders already have substantial workloads. Missiles and other systems supplied by separate production lines can hold up delivery after the hull-building capacity has been found.
