Building Pacific dockyards across the coalition

Dockyard capacity determines how far and how long a fleet can operate. Australia, Singapore, and Mumbai would receive additional facilities so ships could be supported closer to the fighting. Canada might expand beyond destroyer construction toward cruisers, with Pacific yards offering direct access to the theater and Atlantic yards retaining maritime expertise and space. Creating a Canadian cruiser program would probably require new yards, since the existing capacity reached destroyer size but not larger warships. Building ships near their operating area also makes later repair easier, an important advantage in a long-distance campaign. The expanded industrial network would remain available if a separate European war followed.
