Largest Navies in the World

Introduction

Navies have been instrumental in shaping global history, be it through the soft power and prestige they provide a nation or the ability to fight a war and win far from the homeland. Therefore, every empire since Rome has focused on expanding its navy and trying to have the largest fleet in the world. The most famous historical examples are the Royal Navy of Great Britain, whose prestigious history includes mastery of the waves for 100 years and many victories against the Spanish (1588), the French (1805), and the Germans (1915). 

History is full of decisive battles at sea that have often turned the course of a war, such as the battle of Tsushima Straits in 1905, where an untested imperial Japanese fleet beat the Russian Fleet, making Japan the first Asian power to defeat a European great power in a war, and again in Midway 1942, where American carriers scored a decisive victory against the Japanese and turned the tide of the war in the Pacific. 

However, when studying modern navies, one must be careful not to conflate the largest navies with the strongest. While nations like China and Russia have the largest navies in the world, their capabilities are lesser than or equal to their counterparts in the U.S. Navy, the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force, and the Royal Navy, all of which constitute the top 5 strongest navies.

Iran is the thirty-fourth-largest navy in the world with 101 vessels. The fleet is based at the Iranian Naval Academy of Bandar Abbas and is supported by a number of operational bases and regional commands. Over the years, Iran has invested heavily in modernizing its naval forces, procuring numerous vessels from China, Russia, and India to bolster its power projection capability. For instance, towards the end of 2019, Tehran acquired 4 warships from China as part of a $2 billion deal. Iran’s current priority is to establish an active presence in international waters such as the Persian Gulf and Hormuz Strait with the aim of protecting Iranian interests in the region.

China's navy, officially known as the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is the largest navy in the world with a total of 730 vessels. Of these ships, 80 are major surface combatants, including 31 destroyers and 46 frigates. These are supported by 59 submarines, including seven nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines, more than any other nation in the world. Furthermore, China's navy has grown significantly over the years; since 2014 it has added an impressive 17 new ships to its fleet. China's naval expansion is seen as part of its broader strategy to project power beyond its borders, particularly in the South China Sea and the Indo-Pacific region. However, the United States still maintains superior technological capabilities.

Russia is the second-largest navy in the world with 598 vessels. It boasts a fleet of submarines, including nuclear-powered attack submarines and ballistic missile submarines. They also have a number of frigates, corvettes, patrol boats, and amphibious assault ships. Russia's navy is largely focused on protecting its maritime borders as well as projecting power in key strategic locations around the globe. The Russian navy has experienced significant modernizations over the last decade with state-of-the-art platforms being added to its arsenal. These include advanced warships such as the Admiral Grigorovich class frigate and Kilo-class diesel-electric submarine. Additionally, much effort is being put into making Russia's navy more capable to operate in littoral environments and protect its oil reserves around the nation's coastlines.
