I think you are confusing advancedment with size.
You may be correct that the upcoming US ships will be the most advanced, but for a while it may the UK ships. They may be smaller than the Nimitz class, but we are talking ability and technological advancement, not size.
Besides, this is newspaper hype. Hardly the RN’s fault.
