Preparing Russia's Far Eastern fleet in 1900

What ships and infrastructure should a Russian naval adviser improve in 1900 before war with Japan?

Strengthen port defenses and garrisons, stockpile supplies, and acquire more capable long-range ships.

Russian preparations in 1900 should begin with better defences around important ports. Garrisons need stronger positions and more supplies already stored. Ships capable of long-range movement are also required. The proposed improvements address both the bases and the fleet that must reach them.
