No, this is how you rule the waves in the end.

None of those "victories" count I am afraid. The Americans were cheating by using larger more heavily armed ships and trying to pass them off as ships of a similar class. In addition they had picked crews of British veterans, while all the British had in these engagements were impressed Americans who were useless in a fight.
Connor Rivera
And a British frigate still managed to take a US "frigate" in Boston Harbour
It's like a destroyer taking on a cruiser and taking her as a prize
Chase Clark
Lmao seriously what was up with britbongs in this war? Like, I thought your main advantage would be your navy when you tried to stop our FREEDOM but in fac that was one of your worst parts of the war. Literally all you did was lose in ship duels and then even lost vs the fucking FRENCH at chesapeake. Must have been bad luck

>The acquisition of Canada this year, as far as the neighborhood of Quebec, will be a mere matter of marching
Ayden Edwards
British Sea Power was just a numbers game after Nelson. In most encounters their enemies had superior officers and better ships, and they only maintained supremacy thanks to their massive fleet size.
Brayden Taylor
Literally, patently, not true.
I know this is a bait thread but all the battles in the image the US has the advantage: larger ships, more cannons, more men
James Stewart
> Worst part of the war.
And yet the Royal Navy still...
Captured/sank more ships.
Captured more merchantmen.
Kept the Atlantic blockade intact throughout the war fucking the US economy in the process.

You know, wouldn't it be better to show Britain being fucked during Pax Britannia (when the rule Britannia thing was actually a thing)?

Hmmm

>The Spaniards behaved with great humanity to their prisoners, repaying the generous treatment which their countrymen had been given by Admiral Rodney.[20]
How nice of all of them.
Ryder James
That's really ridiculous. Were the muslims just shit at naval battles or were the portuguese too good?
Evan Turner
Portuguese is the Master Race
Connor Martin
And then the American army still blew the fuck out of the British army despite peace talks being already underway. Dumb Britshits.

This is why we should have allied with Napoleon!
Jonathan Harris
why were the portuguese so good at war, and always in minority?
Oliver Turner
>1 ship vs 1 ship
Wow, how impressive
Cooper Diaz
They had better boats and equipament than their opponents which would allow them to get naval supremacy pretty much anywhere they went during the 16/17th centuries
Here's an example

Dominic Walker
>In 1810 Britain had 152 ships-of-the-line and 183 frigates. The loss of several frigates to the U.S. Navy was humiliating. Indeed, the British responded to their shame by exaggerating the strength of the American warships and underplaying those of the British ships.

Looks like dad could use a few of our Veterans to stir some shit up, just take them off their meds for a week and they'll be a force to be reckoned with!
Josiah Adams
You'd hope so given the difference on defense spending. However, you will be hard press to find anyone else who can deploy and sustain an expeditionary force beyond the divisional level.
There's literally only two nations in the world who have a modern track record and force structure for that US and UK.
Carter Hall
>Try to steal Canada while the UK is distracted by Napoleon
>Miserably fail and get your capital burned down
You tell me.
James Watson
More than half of these are extremely small engagements involving 1 or 2 ships on both side. On the whole, they had a very effective navy.
Robert King
The French.

Nobody on Veeky Forums should be posting this retarded meme.

I'm glad they're out of the union really.
