The surface navy is quickly becoming obsolete.

“Surface navy” is too broad. Speedboats are one thing, aircraft carriers another.

Probably drowning their sorrows in some bar, together with other obsolete weapon systems like tanks/AFVs and planes.

The British mission was to seize California for the British. Orders, like US orders, were conditional.

Since the US had seized California already, the British shrugged and left.

Sailing ship travel times were iffy. It was a tossup whether the British or US ships would arrive first.

If the US Navy had arrived and found a bigger British ship in command of California, California would be British today. Or ex-British and independent of both US and Britain.
