A deeper fast force creates schedule room for more refits, including a different Queen Elizabeth modernization aimed at additional speed. It also supplies a capital ship that can maneuver freely as the raider during exercises. Hunting such a target would test scouting and interception against a ship trying to evade at maximum speed. Those exercises could improve preparation for wartime searches for commerce raiders.

Fleet depth supports faster Queen Elizabeth refits and live raider exercises
More fast hulls free older ships for speed-focused modernization and give training fleets realistic high-speed raiders to hunt.
