The Royal Navy may not be as big as it once was when guarding the Empire. But its still the only navy in the world that I respect as being professionally the equal of ours.

I spent some time with the Japanese Navy and must say that they are every bit as professional as ours, as are the Australians.

Spent a lot of time working with the Indians, Japanese, Dutch, and Germans in my day. Top-flight squids, all.

Hi, I'm a bit late I know but Take a look at the story of HMS Jervis Bay..Convoy HX84 November 1940. I just read the story of the USS Hornet in WW2.
No doubt the two best Navies in the world.
