Would British motor boats deploy to Singapore?

Would the Tsingtao conflict send Royal Navy motor gun boats or motor torpedo boats to the Pacific?

Probably: motor torpedo boats would likely reinforce Singapore and forward bases, while the scale of motor gun boat use is less certain.

Motor torpedo boats would probably be sent to Singapore and other forward bases as local defensive forces. Their speed and torpedoes would give fixed bases a mobile close-in threat against Japanese ships. Motor gun boats might also appear, although the scale of their role is less certain. A Far Eastern war would redirect a coastal-warfare capability usually associated with the English Channel.
