I was surprised as well. I kept trying different variations of the UK to see if perhaps you accepted England, versus Great Britain, versus UK, versus United Kingdom. Ultimately i gave up assuming the UK's navy isn't as awesome as it is in my head from my history books.

yeah when I made this quiz I was dumbfounded not to find them in there cause going through school we always learned how the U.K and France were sea based world powers forever. Both navies do however make the list fairly high if it were to be about total navy tonnage. I guess with all this new technology less and less people are required to operate these large vessels for the navy.
