If you accept the concept of territorial waters a naval blockage actually is an invasion, but that's irrelevant, because beyond all that bullshit this map reveals the only nation capable of defeating the British once and for all:
Sweden. The only nation to have invaded Britain but not been invaded by Britain.
Get your goddamn longships out of storage, Sweden, you must finish the job your ancestors left undone.
I don't think people typically understand coming into other country's territorial waters as invasion. I guess it can be that but personally wouldn't include it. Modern day equivalent could be air incursions, which I wouldn't really count. Boots on the ground is what I think most expect when they hear "invasion".
