Distributing surplus capital ships across the Commonwealth

How might Britain distribute surplus capital ships if treaty rules allowed transfers to Commonwealth navies?

Australia, Canada, and New Zealand could receive newer ships, while India used older dreadnoughts to train crews and build a heavy-fleet institution.

The scenario assumes treaty rules allow Britain to transfer existing capital ships to Commonwealth navies without counting them against the Royal Navy's replacement fleet. Queen Elizabeth-class ships could go to Australia or Canada, while Renown-class and older battlecruisers might be divided among Australia and New Zealand. Older Iron Duke-class battleships are assigned to India as training and secondary-duty ships whose crews and officers could build experience on a substantial platform. As new British battleships entered service in the 1930s, newer transferred ships could follow, creating powerful Commonwealth fleets by 1939. The result would complicate treaty parity because American and Japanese calculations against the Royal Navy would omit large allied forces distributed around the empire. The counterfactual also emphasizes the institutional purpose of an old capital ship: even outside the first battle line, it can train personnel and establish a navy's heavy-ship support system.
