Redeploying a dominant Royal Navy toward Japan in 1942

How should the Royal Navy redeploy in mid-1942 if every German and Italian capital ship has been neutralized?

Keep limited home and Mediterranean covering forces, then mass the remaining carriers, battleships, and submarines at Ceylon for operations against Japan.

The proposed deployment preserves enough strength to contain surviving Axis cruisers and protect Mediterranean convoys, rather than stripping every theater. Most modern carriers, battleships, and submarines then assemble at Ceylon, creating a fleet able to contest a Japanese move against Malaya or combine with the diminished US Pacific Fleet after Pearl Harbor. British oil stocks at Singapore, Ceylon, and Australia, together with oilers released from Atlantic reaction duties, would help sustain the concentration. Command would initially reflect the forces contributed: six British carriers and numerous battleships would make the British formation the larger partner until American wartime production changed the balance. A combined structure might leave the central Pacific under an American commander while placing Southeast Asian operations under a British admiral. Every conclusion depends on the deliberately extreme premise that Axis capital ships have already been removed and the Royal Navy has suffered unusually light losses.
