Italy ranks lower in total naval vessels compared to Sweden, Finland, and Portugal, with just 196 ships. However, its military strength is significantly bolstered by the presence of two aircraft carriers, a rare asset among global militaries. This differentiates Italy from other regional powers, such as France and Russia, both of which operate only one aircraft carrier. An analysis of additional naval capabilities in Europe reveals Italy's strategic position despite its fewer total ships.
Italy may not be at the top of the list in terms of Europe's naval rankings in total vessels, but what it lacks in numbers, it makes up for in force projection.
With 196 naval vessels, Italy falls short of countries like Sweden, Finland, and Portugal. But unlike those regional powers, Italy is home to two aircraft carriers, which are considered an incredibly rare asset in global militaries.
