Challenge- we saved your arse in WW3

just reminded of this by a thread on the future in chat.

what scenario could about so a Briton can say something like that to an American- it doesnt have to be 100% true.

say SAS capture Osama Bin Laden or the main terrorist leader(s) in Iraq.
 
It's the US versus the world, minus neutral US allies.

The US navy got hit hard by a sneak attack in the opening moments, and has been struggling to cope against superior numbers ever since.

The US is struggling, but "Fortress America" appears less safe every month. The Western hemisphere is either neutral, US allied (by coersion) or US occupied, but much of Euroasia is gathering for the ultimate naval showdown that will decide the war. The US navy at its height would have been able to stand up to the threat, but the number of ships lost makes each new ship catching up to the pre-war strenght.

The ultimate showdown commences at extreme ranges, and the outcome is constantly in doubt.

Suddenly, tragedy! A new type of stealth mine from Russia just sunk a key US mega carrier, and the balance is slowly turning! Will the hoards of Eurasia rule the seas surrounding fortress America?

But low and behold, out of the night comes the British navy! The British government had been making sounds of allying against the US, but no one knew the ultimate outcome of any negotiations.

Which become obvious, as the British fleet suddenly attacks the Eurasian armada at its most vulnerable! The battle is stabilized, and the combined might of the US and British navy ruin the enemy force. No significant Eurasian naval force remains on the seas, and the Anglo-American alliance runs rampant, destroying enemy shipyards before new vessels can emerge. The American industrial base keeps making new ships, while the Eurasian force is reduced to sneak attacks by stealth vessels. The war eventually ends, and a new Cold War begins. The Eurasian navy rebuilds, but no longer will it have the chance to surprise the allied forces with a sneak attack.

And now the historical debt from WW2 has been repaid, and then some. For the outcome of that great battle was shaped by Her Majesty's Navy.
 
I think Britons can be a source of intelligent culture after WW3. You have goog morals (well as far as I can imagine in this troubled world). So probably you can brace some real disasters.
Of course thisi s maybe a good reason to decimate you first .:(
 
Pfft.The USN is vastly more powerful than the Eurasian alliance fleet would be.We wouldnt even need England,and Im not convinced we'd get any help in any case.
