* They didn't have a fully operational flat-top until just before the end of WW1, and she never got to make her planned strike against Wilhelmshaven because the war ended before she was fully worked up, but the British have the honour of the first deck-launched intercept and the first bombing raid launched from a surface ship before the Great War was over.

If the CV rework fails and we get the current system back, the USN and IJN still have fully fleshed ships at all tiers the RN doesn't have anything we know of developed at the odd tiers, and the failure of the rework would make things interesting until those gaps got filled. The Royal Navy could have been a viable alternative, as they were the only other nation that actively operated a full range of CV, BB, CL, CA, DD throughout WW2 (and most of WW1, for that matter*), but the lack of British heavy cruisers and a full range of carriers hampers them from being a viable contender for 'best all round' right now. The only other nation with a fully-rounded fleet right now is Japan. I wish I had started up the US cruiser and destroyer lines a lot earlier than I did. If you had sold your soul to Satan and were doomed to play only one nation for the rest of eternity as it stands right now, the US is not a terrible option. The USN has it all - CV, BB, CL, CA, DD - and the lines are pretty solid.
