Why did Britain want its navy to be able to match those of any two enemies combined?
In order to protect the UK's military power, a large navy was essential. The British navy was a large force as the Second World War began. This was vital in its war efforts against the Axis Powers. The UK traditionally dominated world navies from at least the time after the Spanish Armada. There was no official policy on the size of its navy, such as being larger than the next two navies combined. Clearly, if other nations had no substantial navies to compete with the Royal Navy, that would impact the warship production at home. As it happens, by 1900, the Royal Navy was larger than any two then its closest rivals combined.

British practice of forcing us sailors to serve the royal navy?
Impressment
Impressment was the act of "collecting" drunken sailors from pubs etc since the ship was shorthanded. It seems obvious that collecting prime seamen would be preferred since training topmen and gunners etc. takes time and when you are at war you dont always have the luxury of time. Officially taking sailors off U.S. ships was to be limited to only those who it could be shown were British sailors who had deserted from the Royal Navy and gone to the U.S., a common practice. Not everyone is perfect. Some sailors did not desert from R.N. ships and some Captains did not abuse their position.

Submarines, particularly the Vanguard-class, are crucial for strategic deterrence. Support vessels, such as tankers and logistics ships, ensure operational sustainability.
