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

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.
Superpower is such a tad ‘compensatory'.
Of the Brits I know and good friends with, they all chuckle at the ‘Superpower’ thing.
What are Chinese hot pot restaurants? What do they serve, and why is it so popular in China?
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.
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.
