That one site may be counting small attack craft and support ships in the numbers. That's the only way you'll get 700 ships in the North Korean navy. It would be better to cite someplace that breaks the raw numbers down into ship types. For instance, the US has more aricraft carriers than the rest of the world combined. It gets even worse when you remember what we call amphibious assault ships are in fact aircraft carriers as well, bigger in fact than many non US aircraft carriers, even though they aren't counted. Then once you get into attack subs, cruisers, and the like it gets even worse. Note this is just the US navy.

Also, Japan has a suprisingly modern and powerful navy. It's doubtful China's PLN could do much against the JMSDF even if Japan didn't have US backing.

But seriously, the EU cannot match the US militarily. The US just starts out with such an overwhelming force advantage by the time Europe could mobilize their nations for war it'd already be over.

Should we talk nukes now?
