Colombia's navy operates a wide range of vessels including frigates, corvettes, and submarines; however, its main force is made up of offshore patrol vessels.
Much of the makeup of Colombia's navy can be attributed to the nation's goal of eliminating the drug trade and smuggling, as these vessels help interdict goods along the coastline.
The Colombian Navy is a key enforcer in protecting its 1,800 coastline, maintaining security on its rivers, and participating in humanitarian efforts and disaster relief.
Brazil might have the most aircraft or tanks, but the title of largest navy in South America belongs to Colombia, which has a robust naval presence.
