There might be public pressure for action, but the vast Royal Navy advantage makes a war with Britain highly unlikely.

The late nineteenth-century Royal Navy dwarfed the United States fleet. Angry rhetoric might exist, but most Americans would recognize that war with Britain was an exceptionally bad strategic gamble. The longer-term consequences could still include an accelerated search for new weapons and naval methods.
