Why Britain did not need American yards for major warships

After the United States entered the Second World War, did the Royal Navy consider ordering warships from American yards?

It obtained escorts and many supporting vessels, but did not need American yards to build major warships because British and imperial production already covered that requirement.

The answer argues that the Royal Navy already had major-warship production distributed across British, Canadian, and other imperial yards. American capacity was more useful for escort carriers, frigates, landing ships, auxiliaries, and other urgently needed supporting vessels. The Destroyers for Bases ships had already filled an emergency gap, even if Britain was not enthusiastic about their quality. Allied shipbuilding was divided by the most pressing capability and production needs rather than by a simple desire for more cruisers or capital ships.
