The most likely outcome of any conflict between the two sides as mentioned between USA and possible allies against th UK/Deutscher Aliance with their allies will resolve most likely in a war on commerce, where both sides will try to disrupt eachothers commerce in the first place, before going into bold offensive groundwarfare, if such a thing should happen at all.

The vast naval resources of the UK and German allaince will be used to blockade the most important USA eastern ports with both vast minefields and occasional attacks on installations on the shore. The main Atlantic Fleet (based in Scapa Flow innitially, but with ports in either Canada (Halifax) and elsewhere too) will be held available, should the USN battlefleet come out in force to fight a decisive battle. The primary mission of the Royal Navy would be to guard against such an event, as well as forming a distand blockade ofteh East Coast, while smaller forces will provide an inshore blockade with submarines and small attackcraft against anything the enemy may send to sea. US possesions and trade across the world will be targeted as well by the scattered UK colonial forces, as they already are all over the globe and can sieze enemy vessels in almost every corner of the planet. German warships will primarily stay in Europe, as a saveguard for possible US allies with navies nearby, while its colonial forces too will join the UK ones in their siezing of US shipping and commerce.

The USA would likely repond with a fleet of surfaceraiders, simmilar to the German ones of both world wars. acting as independant AMC's or raiders to disrupt enemy shipping, simmilarly to what Germany tried in real history. Its Navy and especially the batltefleet is too small to fight the Royal Navy in a main battle, as the ships are devided over various ports on both East and West coast, with a portion in the Carabian as well, since Jamaica may be used by the UK as well for naval operations there. A direct confrontation is less likely and most attention would go on keeping the ports open for commerce, so vast fleets of escorts and minesweepers are needed while batlteships will not, so building battleships may come to a halt, as more urgent priorities will be there. In the long term, a new form of warfare may be developed with aircraft comming into play, as they are being developped as well, like in WW1.

Most likely the USA will be forced to negotiate an armistrice as the blockade will severly interupt economy, while the US trade gets disrupted. As long as US shipping gets siezed, this will in the end lead to defeat adn even without large battles, it will certainly be a point of concern for the isolated US government. Most likely it will try to get allies everywhere, but as there is no show of force possible to get interest of possible allies, these will not be very likely to join and are more willingly to watch and wait. The smae can be said for the other side, although there is a possible entry of Japan too in this conflict, as it may get tempted to get a more important role in the Pacific, as the USN is kept bussy in the Atlantic.
