RANKED: The world's 20 strongest militaries. Despite budget cuts and a reduction in size, the US has maintained its position as the world's strongest military, according to a report on globalization from Credit Suisse.

Dear Red4Tribe, One is totally Flabberghasted that you did not include the French Navy of the 1600's, especially the mid to late 1600's. At that time this was the most Powerful Navy in the World. The Most Powerful Navy Ever.... has to be the current Navy of the USA. Fantastic Submarines, Numerous Battle Ships, Aircraft Carriers etc..... You can't argue with that.
