Top 10 African Countries With the Strongest NAVIES

Top 10 Strongest Navies in Africa
Hello Displorers, welcome back to another informative video presented to you by Displore and thanks for watching. In this video, we shall be presenting to you the top 10 strongest navies in Africa.The navy like the air force and army is another armed wing of the military of any sovereign state, whose aim is to protect and defend the territorial waters from threats or foreign invasion.The first branch of a nation’s military force to encounter and engage a foreign hostile threat is usually the country’s naval force. In most African countries, the Navy is not usually given serious attention even though it is the first line of defense against imminent danger.
To understand better what makes a navy great, it’s important that we define what is a navy.According to the Webstar dictionary, the term ‘Navy’ or ‘Naval Force’ is a country’s entire sea force, including ‘ships’ and personnel sailors. The word ‘ships’ could include surface and sub-surface vessels. It is pertinent to understand the most capable and powerful naval forces in Africa so as to enable us determine the most powerful military in Africa. Huge amounts of money are allocated to these countries’ defense and budget runs into millions of dollars as they boost the strength of their fleet especially when there is need for upgrade of armory.
To rank the top navies in Africa, we used the ranking system of the Canadian Navy that was developed as a benchmark for all naval forces in the world.In a report by Leadmark strategy, these are the criteria to access how strong a country’s navy is:
Rank 1: Major Global Force Projection Navy or Complete
This is a navy capable of carrying out all the military roles of naval forces on a global scale. It possesses the full range of carrier and amphibious capabilities, sea control forces, and nuclear attack and ballistic missile submarines, and all in sufficient numbers to undertake major operations independently. E.g., United States Navy.

Rank 2: Major Global Force Projection Navy or Partial
These are navies that possess most if not all of the force projection capabilities of a “complete” global navy, but only in sufficient numbers to undertake one major “out of area” operation. E.g., Britain, France.

Rank 3: Medium Global Force Projection Navy
These are navies that may not possess the full range of capabilities, but have a credible capacity in certain of them and consistently demonstrate a determination to exercise them at some distance from home waters, in cooperation with other Force Projection Navies. E.g., Canada, Netherlands, Australia.
Rank 4: Medium Regional Force Projection Navy
These are navies possessing the ability to project force into the adjoining ocean basin. While they may have the capacity to exercise these further afield, for whatever reason, they do not do so on a regular basis.

Rank 5: Adjacent Force Projection Navies
These are navies that have some ability to project force well offshore, but are not capable of carrying out high-level naval operations over oceanic distances.

Rank 6: Offshore Territorial Defense Navies
These are navies that have relatively high levels of capability in defensive and constabulary operations up to about 200 miles from their shores, having the sustainability offered by frigate or large corvette vessels and or a capable submarine force.
Rank 7: Inshore Territorial Defense Navies
These are navies that have primarily inshore territorial defense capabilities, making them capable of coastal combat rather than constabulary duties alone. This implies a force comprising missile-armed fast-attack craft, short-range aviation and a limited submarine force.
Rank 8: Constabulary Navies
These are significant fleets that are not intended to fight, but to act purely in a constabulary role.

Rank 9: Token Navies
These are navies that have some minimal capability, but this often consists of little more than a formal organizational structure and a few coastal craft. These states, the world’s smallest and weakest, cannot aspire to anything but the most limited constabulary functions.
With the above ranking system, you might guess the number where influential countries will fall under since the major function of their navy is to ensure that there is peace and stability at the riverine area and seaports of any country.

The best navy in Africa is based on the qualities talked about earlier in this video, a country’s past and current achievements; Quality of arms and ammunition they possess, numbers of active men and finally, how respected and organized they are. Therefore, these are the best strongest navies in Africa.
