Just as a historical nota bene...

The German Navy in the Far East was limited to the Emden, Gniesau, Scharnorst, Dresden, and another ship.

The Japanese navy was larger than that limited packet, along with the Australian Navy. Combined they could annihilate the German Navy in that area, had they chosen to do so.
Now since there were invasions of the home islands (being repulsed weakly I might add)
It's amazing how quickly the Canadians and Japanese rolled over.
Stunning.
Ahistorical.
