Note this excludes auxiliary fleets
Slovenia should be purple
No Swiss navy? Pffff…
Curious why the Netherlands isn’t purple. Also, iirc, the total tonnage (only counting the warships and larger support vessels – excluding all the smaller vessels) is about 140k.
Or am I just missing something/misunderstanding the map and/or am I just plainly wrong?
Edit: did a quick google and found this; so we’re not a blue water navy… [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green-water_navy#The_Netherlands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green-water_navy#The_Netherlands). But ‘green water navy’ is seemingly not ‘regional’ and Spain is also listed as a ‘green water navy’. Now I’m confused even more.
That’s a terrible take lol. UK and France are the only blue water navies in Europe.
Italy, Spain and the Dutch are solid green water navies and shouldn’t be lumped in with eg Germany.
Montenegro back with Serbia huh
The UK doesnt have its Auxillary fleet included. Unlike other Navies Britain has a seperate branch for them the RFA.
That doesnt make sense.
Eu members = 1052k
UK+ France+Spain + Italy + Germany = …
Aaah ok UK is not in EU
wave status: ruled
(please do not look at that other navy across the pond)
Navies don’t put food on the table.
So Britain and France have real navies and Italy sort of does. The rest do not live up to their glorious past😕
