What would France contribute to the coalition?

France would mobilize broadly, while coalition strategy sends modern units east and uses older ships nearer Europe.

Question

If France joined the war against Japan, what naval forces would it send?

Short answer

It would mobilize everything serviceable, with modern ships likely moving east while older units covered the Atlantic and Mediterranean.

Notes

France would send everything that worked, with older French and British ships covering the Atlantic and Mediterranean while more modern units moved to the Far East. Dunkerque-class ships are later identified as plausible contributors to the main coalition force. This allocation uses allied depth to keep European waters covered. The most capable ships would remain available for the main contest with Japan.
