On the contrary, the British navy was better than the German nay, because of the fact they had some many ships, Germany had a leader incompletant of actually using his navy to good effect and the fact that Britian had the most OP ally ever.

British carriers could shrug it out (well, some of them), but they could only carry lest aircraft than their Pacific counterparts. Trade off here. It is like comparing British and German battlecruiser WW1: they do the same thing, but with different things in mind.
