I've been using a bit of Ireland's spare tonnage to carry out some work for the British, Canadians, or Australians in exchange for IOUs; only real stipulation is that it has to benefit Ireland in some way. So far I've built four salvage tugs for the RN, rebuilt a survey ship, and built a (gift) sail-training ship for the Australians. The second (gift) sail-training ship for the Canadians just got laid down this quarter. Later this year I'll give two British cruisers a refit.

It's a good way of getting rid of spare tonnage without resorting to "building ships for the sake of using tonnage", which I just despise.
