Yeah, the Brits have quietly modernized their naval forces. They will have 7 of these subs in their fleet and they have 2 new supercarriers coming online, one of which is significantly bigger than anything outside the US fleet. They will likely be #2 in the world within the next few years. Quite an achievement for a nation of 64 million.

Historically it is important for the brits to maintain naval (and later on, Aerial) superiority while maintaining a capable army, because they are separated from the rest of Europe, against the barbarian hordes, the French and Spanish, The Germans twice. It is their formula to avoiding being invaded. Now, with the advent of ICBMs, it will add a new dimension to the UK's defensive formula. They really can't afford to lose naval dominance against the Sov...I mean Russians.
