Even so, they would lose. In the sino-jap war [the 1st] japan lost over 30% of its foce only by disease. that's what wouold happen to britain in the FN. they would be outnumbered, outmatched, in a place where navies are useless [mainland, landlocked!!], where people can go on guerillla warfare and don't depend upon ammo, and the FN after the 1st initial failure wouldnt be so dumb to go rushing against them. they would hide, set fire to their encampment, go vietcong up their butts and ra** all of them.

Besides, the FN can create repeatable crossbows with relative easy and adopt the fallen enemy's weaponry. even the japanese did that in the imjin war [1500~] they quickly adopted portuguese muskets and invaded korea. [ok,they lost later but that's another stuff]. Besides, how can you know they would destroy the FN navy?? if the FN ships are faster, the british would be dead. besides, if two ships get closer, the firebenders can shoot also. And the worst of all; they have jet skis, which can be used to board and destroy the enemy ship if they land.

so at the same time they are getting whooped by guerilla forces, and the FN standing army,  they would conduct small focused raid to destroy their naval power. ships have to 'land' [be closer to the coastal line] one day or another.
