While senior Navy leaders caution about taking the 'thousand-ship navy' literally (it does not have to be one thousand and will include coast guards, maritime forces, port operators, commercial shippers, and local law enforcement), the importance of maritime cooperation necessitates an understanding of likely contributors. With missions of patrolling choke points, maritime interdiction, and maritime domain awareness, it matters what types of ships are available; draft, endurance, and capabilities dictate what missions can be performed. Of the 18,524 ships listed in the 2007 Jane's Fighting Ships, at least 2,108 can be considered potentially available based on size and sustainability.
