Which county has the biggest and smallest Navy in the world?

Question

I would like to know which nation has the largest Navy in the world.

I also would like to know which country has the smallest Navy in the world.

This answer needs to contain two countries, not one nation state. .

Answer 1

Since the Second World War the United States Navy has maintained its position as the largest and most powerful in the world -

The Iranian navy has always been the smallest of the three services (at this time you should be able to know what they are talking about)

Answer 2

I don't think it's possible for a country to have both the biggest and the smallest navy in the world

Uh - excuse me....Japan does indeed have a navy, and it isn't the smallest in the world. And, because of North Korea, it's getting larger.

Answer 3

well the US deffintly has the biggest navy in the world. its also the most technologicly advanced. at one point the soviets could have challanged us but not anymore, and the smallest navy is realy hard to say, alot of countries have small motor boat with machine guns for a navy, and some countries dont even have a navy (and yes i do means ones that have accsses to an ocean)

Answer 4

usa s the smallest navy

Answer 5

the US has the largest, japan has no navy at all, also countries that dont border any ocean probaly dont have navies

Answer 6

Assuming these are 2 distinct questions and you are asking in regard to the number of ships and not gross tonnage...

Largest - USA
Smallest - Slovenia
