Question

What changes would a UK/Commonwealth superpower bring to the Royal Navy?

Short answer

The Royal Navy would gain manpower, face a different basing map, and have an easier case for funding.

Notes

A UK/Commonwealth superpower would give the Royal Navy a much wider pool of personnel. Where its ships were based would also change. The expanded system would make the case for funding easier. These are proposed effects of the scenario, without a detailed fleet plan.
