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

Superpower is such a tad ‘compensatory'.

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.

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.

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

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.
