During the construction of the Airlake Canal, it was built to a width of 44 meters and a depth of 11 meters, allowing the passage of super vessels up to 35,000 tons.

As the Australasian Navy had completely phased out battleships in their construction plans, the heaviest aircraft carrier built currently was only the Imperial-class aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of 31,300 tons.

This also meant that all new-style Australasian warships could navigate through the canal to Lake Eyre, which would be the safest location for the Australasian Navy.

However, it was clear that, at least for now, this safe location would essentially be of no use to Australasia.

Because of Australasia's achievements in aviation, the combat effectiveness of their aircraft carriers had been greatly enhanced.

According to rough estimates by the naval department, even if the Australasian Pacific Squadron encountered the Royal Navy Home Fleet, they would still have a fighting chance.
