Switzerland has a navy!! A couple of patrol boats on lake Geneva. They did win the America's Cup off New Zealand (most of the crew were from other nations, included New Zealand!)

I know how ya feel MSgalileo, NZ got rid of its combat airforce even if it was only 28 very old Skyhawks but the deal was before the election in late 90's that we would buy 22, F-16's to replace the skyhawkes. After the election Labour won with our granny Helen Clark prime minister who cancel it and mothballed the skyhawks, she then went and spent 180million on the new zealand music industry and other fairy retarded crap.

Oh and our navy one time there was in the middle of purchasing 3 submarines the same type as australia i think they're called "Collins"? Can't remeber the name, yet she cancelled that too!!!

but is a very small navy, only patrol boats patrolling the waters that limited with chile, no submarines frigates or carriers.
