No confusion I know that the river trip and fleet review are two different things. During Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee 165 Royal Navy warships turned out for review. My train of thought was is the Queen wondering how in the span of 60 years that the Royal Navy has fallen so far?

Sadly, I felt the same way.
Literally HUNDREDS of vessels were there for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
Not just Royal Navy ships, but ships from every major navy in the world.
What happened?
