Hey Guys,
As you probably know during the French Revolutionary Wars and of course the Napoleonic Wars the Royal Navy caused massive disruptions for the French armies, as although they dominated the continent, the British could (with relative ease) land an invasion force anywhere they liked, and this would of course lead to the Peninsular War and also the halting of any hope Napoleon could've had at created a new French Colonial Empire.
My question to you all is this: How could you have the Royal Navy be beat so much that it would pose no real threat to the French in either a colonial Empire or on the continent? Now I'm not interested in an invasion of Britain, but I would like the Royal Navy to be able to defend no further than the shores of Great Britain and Ireland.
How could you do this without many butterflies involved if it needs to be early?
