Not really. The US has long accepted British ships into her "reserve fleet" since the 1960's when the British discontinued their own reserve fleet at Portsmouth. We've got a better system in place to refurbish and resell ships to other countries than the British do. However, I'm a bit surprised we didn't do the same in regards to their aircraft and let them store them in the "aircraft boneyard" in Nevada. Look up the terms I placed in quotes for more info on that.
