As many of us know Japan ended up attacking Britain when it invaded Singapore and then America, both Navies where incapable of fending off Japan at 1st. (Could have been avoided for the Royal Navy I imagine if it had more ships).



I actually don't think more ships would have made a difference unless they were AC's. When repulse and (King George?) were sent out to Singapore they were destroyed by the Japanese airforce which enjoyed for the most part aerial superiority over Singapore.

Yeah and American supplies saved Britain from the Germans. Stop trying to bash America while praising Great Britain more than Americans praise America.

Britain would have never made enough ships at that point to cover there entire empire. I think your being a bit to biased here... Even with all of those ships how would they be resupplied/refueled and maintained in an area that the Japanese dominated? Not to mention the Battle in the Atlantic was much more important in terms of convoy escort to keep your home island safe.

They where 2 ships that where available at the time.

Imagine if for 100 ships America built, Britain would have built another 100 ships to stay ahead. Those 100 ships would have been spread about the different fleets in different theaters including the Pacific.

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

Nope. America is it's closest and most powerful friend who also happens to be freaking Rich.

Actually wouldn't I be saying Britain was being stupid by actually listening? Also it seems to be a tradition of us listening to your leaders to this day.

Because Britain understands the importance of maintaining a positive relationship with the US. And Japan was going to invade Singapore with or without America telling them to end the alliance. They were already allied with the Axis and ruled by power hungry militants that wanted the Pacific for themselves. Britain is so far from Singapore that by the time they'd be able to take Singapore before Britain would be able to mount a significant response.

That depends on what war you're on about, maybe WWI, but In WWII we held our own with the spitfire and hurricane, both made in britain. besides it's not like you just gave us said supplies.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Lonepaul, why are you so obsessive in making 'Britain vs. The World' type threads? If you're just interested in Britain's history, then fair enough. However, I can not help but sense (spidey style) you have another agenda (trolling).

Yeah and all the other multi national pilots that flew in those hurricanes and spit fires (Americans, Poles, French ETC). You did not do it all alone, sorry.

Also JUST gave you supplies? What does that mean, like it wasn't as important as making fighter planes? How did you keep your people fed, your planes armed and fueled?

Logistics is everything in modern warfare my friend and we helped you out big time with it.

Supplies is more than just planes. It's fuel, food, pilots to fly those planes, the equipment to keep them running, and our own planes to supplement your own.

Churchill himself said the thing that kept him awake at night was the thought that the u-boats would cut off the supplies from America and Britain would starve.

How much bigger are we talking here? Even with an emphasis on the Pacific how would you deal with the Atlantic? The Germans only had 48 U-Boats at the start of WW2 and still managed to sink millions of tonnage. You would have suffered more in a Pacific centered Royal navy. Also, the you certainly would not have outmatched the Japanese, maybe equaled them. If you didn't have carriers it really wouldn't have mattered for the most part.

Malaya, Singapore, Australia, Chinese ports, America's west coast, Soloman Island's, India where all places British Fleets could have refuelled and resupplied.

But think about this for a minute if the British Pacific Fleet was larger (For example the Prime minister listening to his intelligence agency would have sent more ships as a deterrent) could have prevented the attack since the Japanese fleet would be greatly out matched.

Like I said if our PM of the time had listened it could have been avoided, so im not bias just quoting history.
