The US Navy is both the largest and most modern navy in the world.
Top 10 navies in the world:
USA 683,500 total (433,500 sailors + 250,000 marines)
(289 ships, 3700+ aircraft)
China 250,000
Russia 142,000
South Korea 68,000
India 64,000
France 57,000
Mexico 56,000
Taiwan 53,000 (this is 23,000 sailors + 30,000 marines)
Turkey 48,600
North Korea 48,000
---
Note that most countries report both sailors and marines in their navy total numbers, for example Taiwan's 53,000 member navy is 23,000 sailors and 30,000 marines. I don't know the break downs for sailor to marine ratio in most countries navy totals.
Note also numbers are rough estimates for example 250,000 US marines breaks down to around 200,000 on active duty and 50,000 reserve. Or the numbers for France include 15,000 "part time" sailors.
