The UK downsized their Navy so much that they cannot even keep their oil tankers safe from Iran.

In all fairness, the UK no longer has the economy of a maritime empire to fund a navy that projects power.

Whatever the size of the Royal Navy, this isn't 1839 anymore and they wouldn't be able to send the gunboats, anyway...

China is simply a much bigger power than the UK these days (in fairness, as it should be).
