British newspapers have reported the British Royal Navy is no longer capable of fighting a war.

They say a leaked document has revealed that the navy has become degenerated, with its fighting capability eroded because of years of under-funding and cutbacks.

A top-level ministry of defence document, leaked to the papers, said the Royal Navy would be challenged to mount a medium-scale operation against a technologically capable adversary.

A medium-scale operation was described as being similar to the naval involvement in the Iraq War.

4. A US Navy in 1776?

I'd say the Deep Blue was still Great Britain's until at least 1815...

Just sayin.

USA!

5. Oh, don't be silly.
Next thing you know, you'll be telling the Continental forces had to be bailed out by the French.
