What single infrastructure improvement would most help the Royal Navy?
Short answerBuild and operate more graving docks large enough for carriers and other major ships, including overseas facilities.
NotesInfrastructure is the priority over fleet training or another shipbuilding programme. Large ships are useful only when the navy has enough places to maintain and repair them. Carrier-capable docks are especially important, and the network must extend beyond the United Kingdom to likely operating areas. Dock capacity is a fleet capability in its own right.
