Dozens of movies, hundreds of papers, and thousands of news articles and comments have
been telling us about the strengths of the US Navy. At the same time, a lot has been
said about the Russian Navy for 25 years. However, let’s compare these fleets, which
have a different development concept, by the number of ships.
This review will include ships and submarines that are currently in service, modernization
in both fleets. The proportion of on-board armament in launchers by the number and type
is comparable, and reflects my own opinion only. Only a captain can know accurate information.
All information in this video is taken from public sources.
I need to note the fact that it is impossible to keep the number of ships a secret, as the
navy is tracked by satellites, tourists, commercial and passenger fleet, and other means. The
