By the way, it is important to note the Royal Navy isn't just sitting in London Harbor, it is all over the world in the colonies and you can't just send a radio message to call them. The home fleet is rather small. The US will have a lot of time to prepare.

Well considering I have colonies in Canada, in the Caribbean Sea, in the North part of South America....I think I have something of a naval presence there. The whole USA control of those waters have not happened yet.
