Revised 26 October 2001Version 1.13
Maintained by: Andrew ToppanCompiled by: Juan Carlos Barroux R.
World Navies Today Main Page: http://www.hazegray.org/worldnav/
This list includes the smaller navies of this region, which are too small to warrant fullfleet lists.
This list includes all surface combatants, submarines, mine warfare vessels and patrolcraft over 100 tons displacement, and all amphibious ships and auxiliaries over 500 tonsdisplacement. Non-self-propelled craft and vessels without seagoing capability are notincluded.
Ships not yet commissioned, or in long-term overhaul/conversion, are listed in [brackets].Navigation and surface-search radars are not listed. All designations & classifications areunofficial; they may or may not correspond to "official" designations.

HondurasJamaicaPanamaParaguay
Note: All of Surinam's coastal patrol boats were inoperable as of 1997; they are overageand in poor condition. They are unlikely to be repaired. The nation has therefore beendropped from this listing.
Cuba
Note: In recent years the Cuban navy has nearly ceased to exist.All submarines, frigates, minecraft, patrol vessels and amphibiouscraftare reported to be non-operational, derilect, permanently moored,hulked,etc. The following listing represents a best-case survey of theremaining operational vessels of 100 tons or more displacement. Manyvessels listed are probably inoperable, and the decline in Cuban forcesis expected to continue without end.
