Correct appellation of the navy in Great Britain duly noted.
I was actually only intending to use "British Navy" as a possessive, however--"the navy of Great Britain"--not as the name. But I did not know that "Royal Navy" was the precise name. Oddly, I do recall, for some reason, that the marines are the Royal Marines.
