Which Star Trek fleets resemble historical navies?

Which Star Trek fleets would you compare with the navies of the 1930s?

A viewer pairs the TNG-era Federation with the Royal Navy, the Breen with the Kriegsmarine, and the Romulan Star Empire with the Soviet Navy. Extending the comparison into the Second World War, the Borg resemble American mass production of a successful ship design.

The viewer's Federation comparison emphasizes older, proven Royal Navy ships repeatedly modified around a smaller number of new designs. The Breen comparison turns on a wonder weapon that drains shields and leaves opposing ships defenceless. Once shield modulation defeats it, the criticism is that the Breen have no follow-up weapon to preserve their advantage. Their failure illustrates the danger of building military capability around an effect an opponent can counter. The Romulan Star Empire supplies a playful Soviet parallel through espionage, scale, and uncertainty about the ships actually available. A final analogy moves beyond the 1930s to compare the Borg with late-war American production of the same successful design. These are selective fictional analogies, with different features explaining each pairing.
