Dominant Seapowers like Britain or the US do not neet surface raiders. They can simply (in classical mahanese sense) block the enemy coast and then there is no enemy merchant traffic to raid.
The only allied power that did construct vessels with that purpose was France, and even that more out of habit than out of necessity.
While France was allied with Britain since 1912, much of its naval thinking was still influenced by the "jeune ecole", which postulated merchant raiding in a potential war against Britain.
