Hitlers "wolf packs" were extremely effective so much so that after the war Churchhill commented "The only thing that really frightened me during the war was the U-Boat peril"
So if add the British Navy ships to Hitlers arsenal he would have squashed anything in the Atlantic trying to invade Britain.

I don't know if Hitler would have added British ships to his navy. Chances are at the first sign of land invasion, Churchill and the Navy would have been on the way to Canada.
Remember what happened to the French Navy when Hitler tried to seize it.
