Naval Forces is a branch of the nation’s Armed Forces that is responsible for the amphibious warfare. They combat operations on rivers, oceans and lakes and provide the country with the protection around its water boundaries. Naval forces are one of the main and important army forces for a country that help it during the wars and even support it with various missions. The more the army of a country is powerful and active the more is the country more defensive and innocuous. Top Tens have come up with the list of ten most powerful Naval Armies in the world and no wonder both the Chinese Naval Armies made it to the list.

The first naval army that we will discuss is one of the two Naval Armies of China on the list. On number ten we have Republic of China Navy. The main mission of the ROC navy is to protect and defend the territories and sea boundaries of Taiwan. The operations of the Republic of China Navy include maritime perambulations in the Taiwan Passage and the waters that surround, counter-strike and counter- invasion operations during the time of war. The ROC navy is active since 1924 and today it has 38,000 personnel with approximately 48 total Warships.

The navy of the Italian Republic stands as the ninth Naval force on our list. One of the four branches of the Italian Armed forces is known as marine Militare in Italy and was founded back in 1946. After battling the World War II the leftovers of the Royal navy joined in to make the naval army of Italy and as of today it holds 35,200 workers and total of 60 ships altogether.

Although the Indian Armed forces had Royal Indian Navy before the independence of India but it was not until the independence that the country had their own official Indian Navy in 1947. Apart from securing the sea borders of the country the Indian Navy plays an important role in creating good relations with the neighboring countries, by visiting ports and aiding in other various issues. Indian Navy has modernized their equipment in the previous years, as for today The Indian Navy has approximately 58,350 personnel and 155 total warships.

Part of the South Korean Armed Forces, the Republic of Korean Navy stands as the eighth navy force in the World. Korean Navy has been the oldest branch of the Armed Forces of Korea that was found back in 1945. Today it has almost 68,000 active personnel and 170 custom-built ships. Creating a well performing naval force to fight war, promoting national interests through the protection of maritime activities are some of the objectives of the Korean Navy.

One of the oldest and historic Naval Force is on the number six. French Navy came into being in 1624 and played a significant part in forming the French colonial empire. The roles of the French Navy have been increased by signifying the duties of protecting population, maintaining intelligence, prevent crisis and re-establishing peace. Now it has 38,643 personnel and 98 ships which makes it powerful enough to be on the list.

Another old number on the list is a branch of the British Armed Forces, The Royal Navy make its origins from the 16th Century. Since then it has been an important and senior part of the British Force. From late 17th Century till the 20th of Century Royal Navy had been the most powerful Navy Force in the entire world. Finding victory in World War I the Royal Navy reduced in size, but that too could not let it down, until the end of World War II it was yet again the largest and the powerful Navy of all. Today it has 97 ships and 36,600 personnel.

On number four we have the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force that is a marine branch of the Japan Self-Defense Forces. Coming from the year 1952 the main task of the Japan Maritime is to control and protect the nation’s sea lanes and to guard the regional waters. The large number of personnel of 45,800 and 114 ships altogether makes an incredible Force of Japan.

China’s second Navy Army is the top third on the list which takes People’s liberation Army Navy to another level! The branch has been started since the 1950 and today the People’s Liberation Army Navy has its own five branches that are; People’s Liberation Army Submarine Force, People’s Liberation Army Surface Force, People’s Liberation Army Navy Coastal Defense Force, People’s Liberation Army Marine Corps and People’s Liberation Army Naval Air Force. With a large number of personnel of approximately 290,000 and more than 515 ships, This Navy Army controls a lot.

140,000 personnel and modernized 282 ships make it the second on the list. Although this naval army had its origins from the 6th century but it had to struggle a lot to make itself an official state army branch which took place after a long period in 1992. Taking forward the late experience and modern technology the Russian Navy has marked itself as one of the top naval armies in the World.

The naval warfare branch of the United States Armed Forces, The United States Navy tops the list of the top ten Naval Forces in the World. The services have 317,054 active personnel and 286 ships in total that make possible for one of the largest Navies in the world capable of performing all the duties that are granted to it.

After more than three decades of innovative work in the US and Turkey, two NC State Electrical and Computer Engineering alumni reconnect with their alma mater in Istanbul.

She is an Internet entrepreneur turned record-setting marathoner. He is a multimedia communications pioneer who built an engineering school from scratch.

Seyhan Civanlar and her husband, Reha, owe much of their success to intelligence and hard work, but they also recognize the irreplaceable role that NC State, where both earned PhDs in electrical and computer engineering, played in their globe-trotting lives. So when they learned that an NC State contingent led by Dr. Louis Martin-Vega, dean of the College of Engineering, would be holding a dinner for alumni and friends in their hometown of Istanbul in July, they knew they had to be there.

"It was an excellent dinner and it was great getting to know Dr. Martin-Vega," Seyhan said. "And it created a networking platform for all of us here in Istanbul."

The Civanlars have followed a fascinating path from Turkey to Raleigh and back. They met in the 1970s while studying at Middle East Technical University in Ankara. The couple later married and earned their undergraduate and master's degrees.

NC State became part of their lives in 1981 when they both received Fulbright Scholarships to pursue their PhDs in the United States. They came to NC State with their infant son and lived in King Village.

Once in Raleigh, they focused on their electrical engineering studies. Reha was interested in digital communications and signal processing. Seyhan studied electric power distribution systems.

But life at NC State wasn't easy. The couple had a small child and two research loads to carry. What helped was the kindness shown to them by other students and faculty.

"Graduate students loaned us TVs, chairs and sofas," Seyhan said. "Everybody was so nice and accommodating. Professors would invite us to Christmas parties and Thanksgiving dinners.

"We never felt alone in Raleigh. We felt right at home."

They remained at NC State after graduation, Reha as a postdoctoral researcher and Seyhan as an assistant professor. She was the first foreign-born graduate of NC State to become a faculty member at the university.

A short time later, the couple moved to New Jersey for jobs with AT&T research labs, and that's when their careers really took off.

Reha found a niche working on the development of hi-definition television and Internet video; he later became the head of the visual communications research department at AT&T Research and received about 50 patents in the field. A landmark came in 1994, when at an international conference his group demonstrated the first high-quality, intercontinental video streamed live online.

"On one side was us and on the other side was Japan," he said. "We showed it was possible to move digital, TV-quality video over the Internet."

Seyhan also excelled, performing pioneering work in electric feeders and systems. In the mid-1990s, she led the group charged with building AT&T's Internet services. She later used that experience to found and lead Lemur Networks, raising about $6.5 million for the Internet protocol startup.

Anxious for new challenges, the last 10 years have seen the Civanlars traveling the world supporting each other. In 2002, they moved back to Turkey so Reha could teach computer engineering at Koc University in Istanbul and Seyhan could focus on startups in her home country. Then the couple moved to Palo Alto, Calif., so Reha could serve as vice president for research at a Japanese multimedia company. Seyhan, meanwhile, worked on starting a US subsidiary of a Turkish software company in Silicon Valley.

In 2008, Reha was offered an opportunity to return to Turkey and become the founding dean of the new engineering school at Ozyegin University in Istanbul. His job: Build a new engineering program from scratch.

"When I started at Ozyegin, it was just me in the entire School of Engineering," he said. "It was a very interesting and challenging task to find good people and grow the school."

Today, the school boasts about 900 students, 40 faculty members, five engineering programs and $7 million in research expenditures. By emphasizing entrepreneurship in the curriculum, Ozyegin has helped its faculty and graduate students launch several high-tech startups.

"This is a different approach in Turkey," Reha said. "We are the first ones doing it, and I believe my US engineering education and experience was helpful."

Seyhan recently began to seriously pursue an entirely different passion: running. She holds two Turkish records in her age group for the marathon and half-marathon, and her times have earned her a spot in the 2013 Boston Marathon, one of the most difficult marathons to qualify for in the world.

"I'm a late-blooming marathoner," she joked. "I'm lucky to have good knees and good ankles."

Now settled back in their home country, the Civanlars had the chance to re-forge old ties with NC State. Martin-Vega was scheduled to travel to Istanbul to be the opening keynote speaker at the 3rd International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management, and he arranged to connect with people in Turkey who had connections to NC State. Also on the trip was Dr. Russell King, professor and director of the Furniture Manufacturing and Management Center in the Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at NC State.

"Meeting them both was wonderful, and Reha and I realized that there were a lot of people like us from NC State right here in Turkey," Seyhan said. "I now have a NC State engineering sticker on the back of my car."
