The British Navy

The British Navy, also known as the Royal Navy, is the United Kingdom's maritime force responsible for defense, maritime security, and international presence. Historically, it was a dominant global power during the Age of Sail, controlling sea routes and expanding the British Empire. Today, it operates modern ships, submarines, and aircraft carriers to safeguard UK interests, support allies, and contribute to international peacekeeping. The Navy also plays a vital role in disaster relief and humanitarian missions worldwide. Its expertise in navigation, technology, and combat readiness makes it a key component of the UK's defense and global influence.
