We didn't have to worry about being invaded by land, so we depended upon the Navy to defend the country. The thinking was that if we did get into a war, we'd have time to mobilize and build an army before we started fighting on land. We shared with the United Kingdom the distinction of having the largest Navy at that time.

However, if one goes by troop strength, then the number for the U.S. should be 150,000 if one includes the approximately 20,000 Marines we had.

We still don't.
