I think you need to enter the real world, the USN is far larger than the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy has a total of 82 ships, 25 being surface combatants made up of 8 destroyers and 17 frigates and 4 SSBN, 9 SSN, 3 assault ships, 16 mine vehicles and 22 partol crafts. The USN has 280 ships made up of 11 aircraft carriers, 10 Amphibious assault , 18 SSBN, 56 SSN, 22 crusiers, 51 destroyers, 30 frigates. So the USN not only has more overall ships but far more warships. In terms of technology the USN is the equal of any in the worlds.
