Question

Which three German naval yards were ready to build major warships in 1935?

Short answer

Blohm & Voss, Deutsche Werke at Kiel, and the naval yard at Wilhelmshaven were the immediately prepared facilities.

Notes

Blohm & Voss, Deutsche Werke at Kiel, and the naval yard at Wilhelmshaven are identified as ready to build major warships in 1935. About two other yards could theoretically have built them. Those additional yards lacked the necessary infrastructure at that time. The distinction is between a possible builder and a yard prepared to start.
