The US Navy is by far the world's largest both in terms of personnel (over 350,000) and battle fleet tonnage (which is greater than that of the next 13 largest navies combined). It operates 11 aircraft carriers while no other country operates more than two. It also operates one of the largest and most capable air forces in the world.
