Did the colonists had a stronger Navy than the British navy?

Answer 1

The American Colonies in the time of the American Revolution most certainly did not have a stronger navy, in terms of pure numbers or technology. England was, around that time, the most powerful naval power in the world. There is no doubt to that fact. The Royal Navy employed well over 600 vessels, from tiny sloops to first-rate ships of the line. However, their navy was not employed in one area; Great Britain had naval forces spread over the earth as a result of their size and power. Ships patrolled the waters around various British colonies and such, or were engaged in wars or operated out of naval bases located throughout the world. Halifax, in Nova Scotia, was the headquarters of the British North American Squadron and they operated out of that port for the majority of the American Revolution and War of 1812. The Colonies had the advantage of fighting in their home waters, which they knew well. Many of the sailors and captains in the Continental Navy were originally merchants or had worked in the Royal Navy in the past, and as such had the advantage of local knowledge and tactics and training employed in the Royal Navy, on top of the fact that the North American squadron was not provided with the number of ships and men they requested, and were thus limited in their fight against the rebelling colonists, whereas the colonists had numerous ports to operate out of which. The American Navy managed to win the Revolution through a combination of luck, skill, and misfortune on the part of the British, on top of the established European superpower of the French fleet. british had a stronger navy.

Answer 2

The second strongest navy in the World is the Russian Navy. Britain doesn't even come close. The Royal Navy is currently ranked 6 in the World. In gross tons and number of ships. People don't realize this, but the Royal Navy only has 28 offensive ships: Subs, destroyers, frigates, and anfibian ship. The second QEC may be scraped, because the Brits can't afford more F-35s planes. Let's face it, the British are broke and now have a defensive military. Look at the facts:

Offensive ships: cruisers, destroyers, carriers, frigates, anfibian ships, and subs.

US Navy 283

Russian Navy 101

Chinese Navy 78

Japanese Navy 68

French Navy 35

Royal Navy 28

Russian is no slouch, and they get a lot of jokes from the UK and the USA, but they were on full alert in Syria. Hence, Russia has a lot of 80s and 90s ships, but so does the UK. Most of the UK fleet is from the 70s, 80s, and 90s as well. With the exception of the Astutes and Type45s. Otherwise, the Royal Navy is on even ground with the Russian Navy. Also, the type 45 carries no offensive weapon systems, except for a torpedo carrying helicopter, hahaha.

Answer 3
