Only two African countries appear on a list of the top 30 strongest navies in the world, indicating limited naval capabilities across the continent.
Most African naval fleets are primarily comprised of patrol vessels, which focus on securing local trade routes against foreign threats or piracy.
Military priorities in Africa tend to be inwardly focused, so naval power is often seen as less important compared to aircraft or tanks.
Due to the nature of conflicts in Africa, largely insular and regional, there's little expressed necessity for large-scale naval forces.
