Henry VIII significantly transformed the Royal Navy, laying the foundation for its future prominence. He invested in shipbuilding, introducing larger and more powerful warships, such as the Mary Rose, which enhanced naval capabilities. He established a more organized naval administration and logistics, creating a permanent navy rather than relying on temporary fleets. This modernization not only strengthened England’s maritime power but also helped secure its interests during his reign and beyond.
