The Royal Navy of the United Kingdom is the oldest of the British armed services (and is therefore known as the Senior Service). From the beginning of the 18th century until well into the 20th century, it was the most powerful navy in the world.
Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries the Royal Navy was able to maintain an almost uninterrupted ascendancy over its rivals through superiority in financing, tactics, training, organisation, social cohesion, hygiene, dockyard facilities, logistical support and, from the middle of the 18th century, warship design and construction.
During WW2 it lost most of its world power due to eccenomic inter-war budget cuts and treaties. But still managed to maintain a pressence on a glabal scale.
Proved its worth in Falkland Islands in 1982, fighting a battle 8,345 miles (12,800 km) from Great Britain.
Rather outdated now however, due to massive budget cuts and misapropiated funding. New aircraft carriers (Queen Elizabeth class), destroyers (Type 45) and submarines (Astute class) are now over budget and running years behind schedule.
Blame BAE systems and succsesive MOD fuck-up's.

Once the World's largest Navy, but due to the fact that the British have been corrupted by evil Liberal Ideas successive Governments have abused it and made it dangerously small. However the Officers and Sailors of the Royal Navy are by far the most willing and capable, putting up with crap food, and crap conditions.
Despite common misconception, it is not the Royal Navy that is full of Homosexuals, they are too busy working, and getting women in Port to be dealing with that.

Second largest Navy in the world, but better better trained. Branch of the armed forces primarily responsible for defending Britain's shores.

Group sex where one unsuspecting ass gets fucked by everyone there! It usually happens while the person being fucked is referred to as Sir, Madame or any term that references Royalty!

the bricklandian royal navy is an extension of the knigt commanders in the ROBLOX game: prtty much evey bordr gam evr (PMEBGE), with their leader being geigop (admiral), and Guille_641 (vice admiral). they are basically pirates but KCS instead.
the bricklandian royal navy’s objective is to eliminate pirates that prove a threat to bricklandia (?)
(the admiral and vice admiral are only leading the navy, all other royal bomber HRHs also can lead, like the vice grand marshal and grand marshal (duh) (?))
