The best part about the Navy is that they do need permission or a host country to carry out their mission. They can operate from international waters almost indefinitely and strike almost any target at will through shore bombardments, cruise missile strikes, air strikes, mine warfare, subsurface attack, and amphibious assaults. In short, they kick @ss.
