Heh....
Whats sad is they used to have the second largest air force in the world and used to have ships like Warrior: http://www.hazegray.org/navhist/carriers/images/other/r31-1.jpg
Or Bonaventure: http://www.hazegray.org/navhist/carriers/images/other/cvl22-2.jpg
or Magnificent: http://www.hazegray.org/navhist/carriers/images/other/cvl21.jpg
Lowley escort carriers like HMS Nabob went into harms way to strike at Tirpiz in '44 (Operation Goodwood) and then again into the Barents sea for convoy operations. She was torpedoed by a German Sub in both cases but survived.
Lets not forget Canada had her own beach at Normandy.
