Well compared to the US Navy of course is significantly smaller. Also take into account that the Greek Navy has no Aircraft Carriers and doesn't need them yet (although a small Carrier is in the Navy's plans for the future) because of the Islands and the Greek Dogma which is defensive.

Other than that, the Navy uses Frigates instead of Corvettes and it's expansion is targeted basically towards Submarines, Frigates and Gunboats. Rapid reaction vessels are also important.Basically the Navy's task is the defense of the Aegean and South East Mediterranean.
