Ok I knew Britain had a large fleet I just never knew it was that big. Well then again they do have a global empire to protect so them having a large fleet makes sense. Also i'm using the Giant Earth map not a huge map.
Better yet!
Oh and wait for the Destroyers. The issue is that aside from Destroyers and Battleships, Cruisers must fall over the 4 possible categories of the time: Early Destroyer, Ironclad Battleship or Pre-Dreadnought, Ironclad or Iron Frigate. Others have the same fate as Cruisers, but in the english navy there are so many definitions that it'll take some time until its done.
And I agree with you, England has the global empire, so it need this number to put it together. I'm getting the place where the ships are located whenever possible.
