ALBAWABA - The World Directory of Modern Military Warships (WDMMW) has ranked the world's most powerful naval fleets through an analysis of naval strength in 36 countries.

The evaluation encompassed most types of warships, excluding small vessels, reconnaissance ships, and commemorative historical vessels. The ranking covered several categories of warships, ranging from relatively small corvettes and frigates to larger destroyers and cruisers.
