Royal Navy

It was big

IT STRETCHES TO INFINITY

>*blocks your empire*

And that's not even the whole navy of the empire

>In her uniquely unlucky career with the Kriegsmarine, she had the distinction of being the "most heavily damaged U-boat to successfully return to port" in World War II (on her fourth patrol) and the only submarine in which a commanding officer took his own life in combat conditions (on her tenth patrol, following six botched patrols).[5]

No way that image is legit wtf?!

It's most of it. They had already retreated to home bases at that point.

this, seems like anglo larping, also a high res version would be nice

how long would the average crew/crew member stay in those at one time?

Larping as who?

>high res
>1914

the artist who drew this obviously didnt make it at this size, there must be a larger version.

not anymore

>the anglo navy was never really this big
>it was all a ruse
>the myth they had an industrial revolution enabling them to produce so many ships

Where's that new diesel powered aircraft carrier of theirs? The one with the ski ramp.

It was bigger

Months in a Type IX

Not in 1914 it wasn't.

it IS bigger

they removed it out of embarrassment.

>didn't have global hegemony for a century

Nor did Perfidious Albion.

t. Irrelevant third world shithole

...

>ski ramp
>carrier
no need to include it in a picture of warships

The British Grand Fleet at the start of WWI is larger than the US navy is today. That picture is only about half of their ships.

>Carriers
>s
>Plural
Nah. America will pump out three before France or England make another.


Also
>British navy
>White

Having a large navy today during peacetime is a bit like being a manufacturing business with a huge inventory in the era of JIT production - highly inefficient. I do wonder though, in an emergency involving a major conflict, how quickly NATO countries could ramp up the production of warships and planes.

for you

>The British Grand Fleet at the start of WWI is larger than the US navy is today.
Except it got BTFO at Jutland by an inferior force.

>221 Destroyers

Destroyers
Kek, and the U-boats proceeded to make them look like fools.

WHITE and BASED

>make them look like fools.
>killing women and children
epic g*rmans

So why does the UK still have a Navy?
Where are they going to sail to?

Forgot pic

not really, the battlecruisers got hit bad but the germans lost the main engagement hard, they turned and ran at the sight of the grand fleet, and while suffering no sinkings in that brief engagement had their ships pounded badly enough that most were in docks for months, jutland was tactically indecisive, and strategically a british victory

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

>twf millions of American children say this every day as school starts and it is said before the opening of every town meeting and city council meeting, or opening of state and federal legislative sessions.

>In the UK a majority of people think the red cross of England is a hate symbol

My almonds are activated.

As you can see from that pic, the ships were only painted partially white. Only about 56% of their construction was white.

>how many destroyers you want senpai?

>epic g*rmans
>Don't you mean "epic Bongistan Rules the Waves"?

No, Jutland is acknowledged as a kraut victory, lad, and by an inferior kraut force. When you destroy more of the enemy and kill more of them, you've won the day.

That's some effortless bait right there

...

The falklands :^)

Irrelevant without trained crews,

Jumping from a Cessna to an F-16 is orders of magnitude more complex than putting a farm boy in a warhawk

Too bad ships back became outdated so quickly.

People always focus on the European theater because of muh Hitler, but the Pacific war was crazy. We fought a war across the biggest ocean in the world and won.

>forward torpedo room (crew quarters)
Did they get cots and blankets, or did they have to snuggle up to the warheads to keep warm?
