I would think that this aircraft went from the factory into the hands of the Royal Navy via some department in the US government, rather than passing through the ownership of the US Navy. If the US Navy never took the aircraft on charge, then they have no basis for claiming ownership.

: US Navy then claim title to that airframe?
