Hi Warships Fan's ;)
Now I have finished the "bulk" of this blog.

After writing reviews of the sixty largest navies of the world, unfortunately, due to a "growing lack of time"..., I can not make a full worldwide "Fleet Reviews" (220 countries, hundreds of naval organisations: State Navies, Coast-Guard, Maritime Police...).

So now my main goal will be to update this blog & these "Fleets Reviews"

FUTURE OF THE SMALLEST NAVIES...ANY HELP WAS GREATLY WELCOMED !!!
If you have some favorite small navies, feel free for you to write the corresponding review, and promised, I'll put your work on my blog

Here is the list (not exhaustive) of the small navies missing on this blog.
