Due to the fact that the Anti Ship Missiles on board of the Royal Navies ships are approaching the end of their lifetime, they are currently phased out without replacement (until 2023, when new developed Anti Ship Missiles enter production)
That means, by 2018 not a single of the UK Navies ship will have any Anti Ship Missiles anymore ... meaning that even the biggest warships of the RN (which actually are just 17 Frigates and Destroyers) will only have a single 4.5" gun with 30km range as main armament, giving them less armament than 19th century cruisers.
Coupled with the fact that the last Carriers of the RN were phased out a few years ago (with 2 new carrirs not entering service before 2020) and also hasn't a single modern plane in its possession means, that since the 17th century the RN has never been so weak as it will be by 2018
Hell, even our german Bundesmarine has more offensive capabilities than the UK by 2018
Perhaps a good advice would be to reactivate the 2 only remaining opperational Swordfish TBs, as soon as the 2 new Carriers will be complete in 2020 ... so that the Carriers have planes to use
