Peace in one theatre allows exposed fleets to withdraw and their ships to be reassigned. Fifth rates move from quieter waters to reinforce the Indian Ocean fleet, while sixth rates remain for local coverage. This concentration supports operations against rebels without immediately opening another war against a major power. Lighter local security releases more capable cruising ships for the theatre where expansion and risk are greatest.
