The British kingdom had an army long before Henry VIII. However, Henry VIII is credited for making the British Navy. In an attempt to control the threat from the French and the perceived threat from the Scots and Irish, Henry VIII put huge sums of money into devoloping a strong Navy. He built many boats, and paid to have engineers design stronger and faster ships. He poured money into the Navy to streghten his entire coastline. Remember that England is an island.
