Historyofdevelopment
FromtheMiddleAgestotheCromwellera
TheUnitedKingdomisanislandcountry.Thenavyisvitaltoitssurvivalanddevelopment.Inhistory,Britainhasbeenrepeatedlyinvadedbyforeignenemiesfromthesea.TheestablishmentofthenavyhasbecomethefocusofBritishdefenseconstruction.Asearlyasthe9thcenturyAD,KingAlfredtheGreat(reignedfrom848to899)formedafleet.
Becauseofthespecialgeographicalenvironment,mostBritishmonarchsattachgreatimportancetotheconstructionanddevelopmentofthenavy.ThistraditionbeganwithHenryVII.AfterHenryVIIIsucceededtothethrone,heinheritedHenryVII'spolicyofattachingimportancetothenavy.HefoundedtheNavyBureau,whichlaterbecameanimportantdepartmentofthecountry,underitsjurisdictionthethreefunctionaldepartmentsofdocks,food,andarmaments,andotherauxiliaryagencies.
In1558,afterHenryVIII’sdaughterElizabethsucceededtothethrone,DrakeandotherBritishadmiralsproposedtoimprovetheBritishnavaltactics,andatthesametimecreatemorepowerfulartillerywithalongerrangesothatenemyshipscouldnotSinkitwhenyougetclose.Britainbegantobuildanewtypeofgalleonin1580.LaterinthenavalbattlewiththeSpanishfleet,thenewshipsandlarge-caliberartilleryoftheBritishfleetplayedahugeroleinthevictoryofthewar,anddefeatedtheSpanishInvincibleFleetattheBattleofGravolinain1588.However,SpainwontheColonnaLisbonexpeditionorganizedbyBritainin1589,andthesituationreversed.
Atthebeginningofthe17thcentury,theBritishmaritimepowersituationworsenedcomparedtothepast.ShipsandtheBritishcoastwereincreasinglyattackedbyBarbarypirates.Thecrackdownhadlittleeffect.Itsmerchantfleetwasalmoststoppedduetopirateattacks.
In1640,abourgeoisrevolutionbrokeoutinBritain.In1649,theUnitedKingdomwasdeclaredarepublic,andCromwellwaselectedastheprotectorofEngland,Scotland,andIreland,andactuallymasteredthepoweroftheBritishstate.AfterCromwellcametopower,aspecialnavalorganizationwasestablishedandastandingnavalfleetwasestablished.
Thenewregimepromulgatedthe"NavigationRegulations",stipulatingthatallmerchantshipstoandfromBritainorBritishcoloniesshouldbecarriedbyBritishships,whichledtothewarwiththeDutchRepublic.IntheearlydaysoftheFirstAnglo-DutchWar,thelargeandheavilyarmedBritishshipswereoffsetbytheDutch'sexcellenttacticalcommandskills,makingthewarinconclusive.AftertheBattleofPortlandin1653,BritainimproveditstacticsandachievedaseriesofdecisivevictoriesinthesubsequentBattleofGabbardandtheBattleofScheveningen,andbroughtfavorableconditionsforpeacetoBritain.
From1660tothe19thcentury
InMay1660,CharlesIIsucceededtothethroneandBritainrestoreditsmonarchy.Hisfirstactionwastorebuildthenavy.Fromthispointalone,thenavywasnolongerthepersonalpropertyofthemonarch,insteaditbecameanationalinstitutionandwasgiventhetitleof"RoyalNavy".
From1655to1675,thetotalnumberofwarshipsintheNetherlandshasbeenmaintainedattheworld'sadvancedlevel.TheeconomicandmilitarystrengthoftheNetherlandsissufficienttocompetewithBritain,anditremainsthemainobstacleandthreatonthepathofBritishbusinessandcolonialexpansion.Therefore,theSecondAnglo-DutchWarandtheThirdAnglo-DutchWarwereafiercestrugglebetweenthetwosides.
Fromthe1670stothe1680s,theBritishnavypermanentlyendedtheBarbarypirates'threattoBritishshipping.AftertheGloriousRevolution,BritainjoinedtheAugsburgLeaguetoparticipateintheGreatAllianceWaragainstthehegemonyofLouisXIV,andalliedwiththeNetherlands.In1692,thevictoryoftheBattleofRahoa(theBattleofRaoulge)broughtaturningpointinthewar,andBritainbegantobecomethestrongestatsea.
IntheWaroftheSpanishSuccession,BritainandtheNetherlandsfoughttogetheratseaagainstFranceandtheSpanish.AtfirsttheyfocusedontheMediterraneanandformedanalliancewithPortugal,occupyingGibraltarandMelorcain1704and1708.From1715to1727thenavyfoughtagainstSwedenandRussiaintheBalticSea.In1718,thenavywasthrownintotheBattleofCapePaserointheWaroftheFourNations.In1739,theNavyparticipatedintheWarofEarsofJenkinsinSpain,mainlytargetingSpanishportsintheCaribbeanSea,butthebattlewasmostlyunsuccessful.
IntheensuingSevenYears'War,thenavy'samphibiousmilitaryoperationsconqueredFrenchcoloniesinCanada,theCaribbeanandWestAfrica.InFebruary1763,BritainandFranceconcludedthe"ParisPeaceTreaty".ThecontractmarkedBritain'sgreatvictoryinthestruggleformaritimesupremacyandlaidthefoundationfortheBritishEmpire.Themaritimepowerbegantoenteritsheydayandbegantomovetowardsthe"seasupremacy"."Thestatus.In1775,theAmericanWarofIndependencebrokeout,andin1778,FrancedeclaredwaronBritain.Inthefollowingyear,SpainagainformedanalliancewithFrance,andFrenchmaritimepowerwasfurtherstrengthened.AfterFranceenteredthewar,thescopeofthewarexpandedtoincludetheAmericas,Gibraltar,theAtlantic,theMediterranean,theWestIndies,andIndia.TheBritishnavyandtheFrenchnavyaretheprotagonistsonthenavalbattlefield,andbothsideshavetheirownvictories.
IntheFrenchRevolutionaryWarandtheNapoleonicWars,NelsondefeatedthecombinedFrenchandSpanishfleetsattheBattleofTrafalgar.ThisvictorymarkedtheculminationofthesuperiorityoftheBritishnavyfordecades.TheViennaConferenceof1815markedtheestablishmentofBritishmaritimesupremacy.Untiltheendofthe19thcentury,theBritishnavyhadanabsoluteadvantageintheworld.Inthepastcentury,nocountryhadthepowertochallengeitsmaritimesupremacy.
In1889,ParliamentpassedtheNavy’sNationalDefenseActandformallypassedthe"TwoPowersStandard",whichstipulatedthattheRoyalNavyshouldmaintainatleastthesamenumberofbattleshipsasthesecondtwonavalpowers.sum.Inthemid-1990s,theinternationalsituationchangeddrastically.FranceandRussiaformedanalliance,theambitiousGermanylaunchedalarge-scalenavalplan,theUnitedStatesandJapancontinuedtoexpandtheirterritory,andBritainfeltisolatedandinsecure.
Early20thcentury-1945
Afterenteringthe20thcentury,theRoyalNavyisstillthemostpowerfulnavyintheworld.DuringtheFirstWorldWar,theBritishNavywasfurtherdevelopedandstrengthenedduetotheneedtoblockadeanddefeattheGermanHighSeasFleet.Bytheendofthewar,theBritishNavyhadonceagainachievedapositionfarstrongerthanothernavalpowers,andthegapbetweenitanditsmaincompetitorshadalsowidened.
Althoughthewarisover,theintensityofthenavalcompetitionhasnoteasedduetothedefeatofGermanyandthecancellationoftheGermannavy.Britain’smaritimehegemonyisfacingnewchallenges.MaintainingseapowerisatraditionalBritishpolicy.Facedwiththenewcompetitivesituationintheinternationalnavalfieldafterthewar,theBritishgovernment'sinitialresponsewastomaintainitsmaritimehegemonyatallcosts.Inthisway,justafterWorldWarI,alargernavalarmsracewasunfoldedamongseveralmajorpowers.
IntheearlydaysofWorldWarII,theRoyalNavyprovidedimportantprotectionfortheevacuationoftheBritishExpeditionaryForceinDunkirk.AttheBattleofTaranto,AdmiralCunninghamdecidedtousecarrier-basedaviationtocarryoutairstrikesontheportofTaranto.Thisisthefirsttimeanaircraftcarriercarrier-basedaircrafthasattackedanavyshipinhistory.TheRoyalNavysufferedheavylossesinthefirsttwoyearsofthewar.IncludingtheRoyalArk,Brave,GloryandRoyalOak.TheLancasterwassunkbyaLuftwaffebomberonJune17,1940offtheportofSaint-NazaireinFrance.ThisincidentwasthesinglemostdeadlyincidentinthehistoryofBritishnavigation,anditwasalsotheworstcasualtyincidentintheUnitedKingdominWorldWarII.However,theBattleoftheMouthofLaPlatain1939,theBattleofNarvikin1940,andthesinkingoftheproudGermanbattleshipBismarckinMay1941stabilizeditssuperiorityonthewatersoftheAtlanticOcean.Inadditiontoprovidingcoverduringoperations,defendingsearoutesalsoenablesBritishtroopstofightinremoteareasoftheworld,suchasNorthAfrica,theMediterranean,andtheFarEast.Thehegemonyofthenavyisalsocrucialforamphibiouslandingoperations,suchasOperationTorch,SicilyLanding,andNormandyLanding.RoyalNavyshipsalsoplayedavitalroleinescortingthemerchantfleetacrosstheAtlanticandArcticOceansandprotectingotheralliesfromair,surface,andunderwaterattacks.TheGermanbattlecruiserScharnhorstwassunkin1943whileattemptingtoattackanAlliedmerchantfleet.Bytheendofthewar,theRoyalNavyhad4,800ships,makingitthesecondlargestfleetintheworld.

AfterWorldWarII,theBritishcoloniesundertheimpactofthenationalliberationmovementbecameindependent,andthe"sunneversetempire"wasfragmented.InthelateColdWar,themainforceoftheBritishnavycontractedtotheNorthAtlanticwaters,whichuseditsspecialgeographicalpositionasanimportantstrategichubintheWestandthestrategicdepthofWesternEuropeintheconfrontationbetweentheEastandtheWest,aswellasitsrichanti-submarineexperience.Ithastakenontheimportanttaskof"nucleardeterrenceandprotectionofmaritimelinesofcommunication",thuswinningaspecialdefenseandpoliticalpositionforBritaininNATO.
