They've drawn down a long way. Their greatest strength would probably be in their submarine forces, they can deploy 5 and 7 SSN's with 2 of those being their shiny new Astute classes.
Their lone carrier is the Illustrious which is a woefully small carrier with up to 22 aircraft including 1 12 plane squadron of Harriers which would be cut to pieces against Modern Russian Aircraft.
They have 6 guided missile Destroyers, that are modern
They have a dozen Frigates that were commissioned in the 80's.
They're not the royal navy of the Falklands war.
