The BPF presence in the Pacific was hardly insignificant after mid 1944. Over 200 ships and subs, 750 aircraft. 4 battleships, 6 fleet carriers, 15 escort carriers, 11 cruisers plus many more support craft.

The British had an interest in waving the flag in the Pacific and by 1944 the US was very determined to keep the British role to a minimum and solidify their position post war.

An aside, British armoured deck fleet carriers were built like tanks. Kamikaze hits were little problem. In the med Illustrious took 6 1000lbs bomb hits in quick succession from Ju87s and kept on trucking.
