Yeah, ball don't lie - European nations are spending hundreds of billions of dollars per year on their own defense, more than the U.S.

Then where is the money going? 0 submarines. Barely 100 tanks.

The U.S. is part of NATO, so I'd say - nearly all the ships that engaged were part of NATO? NATO isn't intended to replace the armed forces of the member nations the way our national army replaced the state militias/armies that existed in colonial days. NATO exercises military power through the forces of its members, for the most part. There are independent forces that are entirely under NATO, an arrangement that can be important diplomatically since it allows NATO to engage in operations without them being necessarily a national operation. But generally, NATO works through its member militaries.

Okay, I'll answer my own question: The US Navy was joined by maybe 2-3 ships, 1 each from the UK, France and Italy. That was it.

NATO Navies don't really exist; there's the US Navy - woefully undersized for what it needs to do - and nobody else.
