A strategically autonomous Cold War Royal Navy

What might the Cold War Royal Navy have looked like if Britain pursued strategic autonomy after the Suez Crisis?

Britain would likely emphasize naval and air forces, reduce its continental army commitment, and take greater responsibility for Atlantic or eastern maritime theaters while remaining a difficult but useful NATO member.

Greater strategic autonomy would require Britain to favor naval and air power while reducing its standing land commitment in Germany. The Army would remain substantial, but basing more of it in Britain would remove some dependence on German infrastructure. A common equipment pool with Canada and Australia is one possible arrangement, although their willingness to join cannot be assumed. Remaining in NATO would still be possible. One proposed division of labor gives British and French carriers more responsibility in the North Atlantic, with the United States increasing its continental commitment. A competing proposal sends British carriers east against China and the Soviet Pacific Fleet so American carriers can concentrate on the Northern Fleet. The disagreement also concerns whether a larger Royal Navy could decisively overmatch the Soviet Northern Fleet, with British submarine capabilities raised as a qualification.
