As you know the March issue of USNI's Proceedings magazine ia always devoted to a Review of the World's Navies. The Commanders of the those Navy's are invited to respond to a question posed by USNI. this year it was:
"What is your Navy doing to enhance its interoperability so your maritime service can work more closely with other nations' naval forces?"
The scope of my observations will be by region/alliance and will concentrate on the most important of navies based on my opinion. This in no way should be seen as a slight to smaller navies on my part.
Also I am most concerned with their "interoperability" with the U.S. . Once again please dont think I am not interested in, marginalising or denigrating other scenarios within or out of the region/alliance.
In fact I would be most happy to learn more of activities I have little or no info about. Thanks in advance for any illumination or enlightenment.
First lets look at the Western Hemisphere Navies:
