From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following table lists numbers of warships in service, by type and by country, in order of largest to smallest tonnage by navy.
Guide to table [ edit ]
The table only counts warships that are commissioned (or equivalent) and active (not under repair).
Ceremonial vessels, research vessels, supply vessels, training vessels, and unarmed icebreakers are not included.
Surface vessels displacing less than 250 tonnes are not included, regardless of other characteristics.
Armed submarines are included.
Patrol boats are included, even if they work for a force separate from the country's navy (for example, the Medium Endurance Cutters of the United States Coast Guard ).The "other landing ship" category includes all small amphibious warfare ships such as Tank Landing Ships etc.
The "anti-mine ship" category includes minesweepers and minehunters .
The "missile sub." category includes ballistic missile submarines only. Cruise missile submarines are counted as attack submarines.
Vessels are categorized by size and purpose in accordance with the most broadly accepted definitions. For example, some large frigates may be counted as destroyers.
Totals are approximate: data on some countries' brown water forces may be scarce.
The ranking of countries is partly arbitrary. Generally, total tonnage of ships is more important than total number of ships.
The vessels are grouped into five main types (indicated by colors): Red for aircraft carriers, Yellow for amphibious assault/warfare ships, Green for principal surface combatants , Peach for patrol and mine-warfare vessels and Blue for submarines.
