From the transcript

It's been almost the century since the lyrics "Rall Britannia, Britannia, all the waves" were first sung. And it's been arguably some six decades since the concept stopped being true.

The British Royal Navy was considered the largest and finest naval force in the first part of the 20th century, but that mantle has now been inherited by the United States Navy.

The only potentially serious threat to American vessels, the Soviet Navy, collapsed more than 30 years ago. The US Navy thus remains the only naval superpower on the planet. Washington relies on its size, quality, and global reach to support diplomatic, economic, and political interests worldwide.
