How Britain would support a global anti-raider campaign

What support force would the Royal Navy need against globally deployed German surface raiders?

Britain would lean on its worldwide bases and existing fleet oilers, while spending more on protecting key imperial ports from raider attacks.

The Royal Navy's advantage is its inherited network of ports rather than a need to mirror German shipboard support arrangements. Britain would still build the fast fleet oilers already planned, but most maintenance and replenishment could be organised through established bases. Germany needs more support ships because its home infrastructure is concentrated in Europe and its raiders operate far from it. Gibraltar, Malta, the Falklands, Singapore, and Ceylon therefore become both operating points and tempting targets. A global German raider threat would push Britain to spend more on their local defence.
