The Royal Navy built an extraordinary catalogue of excellent small boats, supported by larger vessels which gave serious firepower and, using the characteristics of each boat to maximum effect, fielded mixed formations supported by destroyers or powerful gun equipped landing craft.
Infamous for their U-boats and naval tactics of targetting unprotected supply ships. Germany once sought to take on the might of the British Royal Navy but they quickly adapted tactics and utilised sneak and hit and run tactics instead.
America had not been blind to the possibilities of the coming war and took great pains to watch and learn from her allies and foes so that when war came, America was ready. They put in place a building program that dwarfed all the other navies combined and led to the naval dominance that she still enjoys today.
Japan's battleships and cruisers were of excellent quality and their growing fleet or aircraft carriers would, after Pearl Harbor, give them the edge in the opening phase of the Pacific War. Excellent training, use of the Long Lance torpedoes and aggressive use of nighttime fast attacks with their destroyers also gave the allies a bloody nose before they learned to counter these attacks.
