Although the British were brutally wounded by the Boers who were far inferior to them in the Second Boer War, the name of the British world hegemon was not called in vain, especially the British Navy, which may have been affected by the defeat of the Northeast Navy in the past two years, and has been frantically expanded.

By February 1902, when the Second Boer War officially ended, the British Royal Navy already had 4 Sovereign-class all-steel battleships with a full load displacement of 15,580 tons, 7 Old Man-class all-steel battleships with a full load displacement of 14,320 tons, 1 Prestige-class all-steel battleship with a standard displacement of 12,350 tons, 1 Pavrel-class all-steel battleship with a standard displacement of 10,500 tons, and 19 Majestic-class all-steel battleships with a full load displacement of 16,000 tons. 8 Dreadnought-class all-steel battleships with a full load displacement of 16,200 tons, 10 London-class all-steel battleships with a full load displacement of 16,300 tons, 12 Duncan-class all-steel battleships with a full load displacement of 14,225 tons, and 2 Edward VII-class all-steel battleships with a full load displacement of 16,610 tons, so that the British Navy has 60 all-steel battleships, which is far ahead of other European naval powers, and even the number of all-steel battleships in the Northeast Navy is much less than that of the British.

Moreover, the British also built a large number of large fast armored cruisers, protective cruisers, submarines and destroyers, completing the overall expansion of the fleet, and the total displacement still ranks first in the world.
