Has Great Britain ever been considered a "hyper-power" like the United States or Russia are currently considered? If not, why?

Anyway no Britain has never been in the class of Hyperpower or Superpower, we dont care to be, we're happy being a sleeping bulldog.

Superpower is such a tad ‘compensatory'.

Of the Brits I know and good friends with, they all chuckle at the ‘Superpower’ thing.

How do I write a character’s physical description without it feeling unnatural and clunky? I’m able to describe their hair and body relatively easily because my writing puts emphasis on small movements and fidgeting, but I can’t describe faces.

No, no, no, no, no. The Brits are happy to sit there surrounded by an invaders nightmare of a sea borne invasion being repelled by submarines you cant hear, cant see, and can blow you apart in a heartbeat.

We're not a superpower as such, but what we bring to the table can be the deciding factor in winning or losing a battle. Experience.
