Few things besides being on the terrifying receiving end of the near-infinite might of our awesome missiles and guns illustrate naval power better than a good chart, and this handy infographic illustrates why the U.S. Navy is the largest and most powerful in the world. While other navies, particularly the Chinese Navy may be getting a lot of attention, it’s worth keeping in mind that the U.S. Nav has nearly one hundred guided missiles cruisers and destroyers, far more than any other navy on Earth.
The Navy includes aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, cruisers, destroyers, and submarines—many of them nuclear powered and spread across the globe. While other navies have more ships, ton-for-ton the U.S. Navy has far more globally capable, “blue water†warships. The bedrock of this force, known as the deployable battle force, are the 92 cruisers and destroyers listed in this chart.
