About this Ranking
Naval bases are where fleets are sustained: a navy can only keep at sea what its bases can berth, repair and rearm. The number of installations reflects how far a country can operate from home and how much of its fleet it can maintain at once. This ranking counts both domestic bases and overseas installations operated by each country.
