1917 and 1939-43 made convoy, air, and intelligence the surviving arts. See the submarine page for the opponent type. 1945-present shrinkage, the US special relationship at sea, Korea 1950-53 as a UN footnote, and later carriers as political objects. History of a smaller fleet, not a current list of hulls.
Alliance navy stays dated: 1916-05-31 (Jutland) in Home waters, the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and a global imperial-then-alliance map. John Jellicoe, 1st Earl Jellicoe (Admiral) is a named witness -- Jutland's Grand Fleet commander -- the cautious name in the English split. Cost band: not one war -- an institution; human cost sits in the wars the fleet fought. Encyclopedia, not a method.

The RN's honest twentieth-century sentence is not Trafalgar repeated; it is yards, oil, escorts, and a handoff of maritime primacy. 21 October 1805 ended a combined Franco-Spanish battle fleet as a threat in that war and killed Nelson into a civic religion. It did not freeze naval history.
The 31 May-1 June 1916 North Sea clash. Tactically disappointing for British hopes; the blockade continued. Memoirs split Jellicoe and Beatty for a century. In 1917 and again in 1940-43 they made escort, air, and convoy the surviving problem. See the submarine page.
