   On September 25, 2018, the new British aircraft carrier R 08 Queen Elizabeth, located off the coast of the United States, landed for the first time two fifth-generation fighter aircraft Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II with a short takeoff and vertical landing, which should make up the aircraft group of this ship. Then these F-35B fighters made a springboard launch from the deck of an aircraft carrier. Both F-35B aircraft belonged to the US Marine Corps, but were piloted by British pilots. Thus, F-35B test flights were launched from the deck of the Queen Elizabeth, which should last 11 weeks and include more than 500 landings on its deck.

Most established navies have old ships like that in their inventories and the RN in particular is shrinking fast.

However we still seem to be able to design good ships, even if we don't actually get to build them. After the forthcoming Type 26 Frigate was selected by the Aussies as their Hunter class it now looks like the Canadians have done the same for their Canadian Surface Combatant project.

The carriers don't have enough crews so other ships have to be mothballed and sailors brought out of retirement.  The Royal Navy is a complete disaster.

South america is a long time spanish colonisation that became independant. They can dream about having anything there.

They might even lose Gibraltar base to spanish nationalist since EU will support Spain.

Once their navy destroyed by budget cut, Argentina might also get Malvinas back without even fighting. Their two carriers will be destroyed there if they try something.

GB is done. Bigger are the chances to sea chinese navy around GB.

You forgot the reunification of Ireland, Cyprus taking back Akrotiri and Diego Garcia.  At the end of it the only thing left of the British Empire will be Pitcairn Island and their inbred pedofiles.
