Battle of Kursk, in Russia. July 1943. The biggest land and tank battle of World War II.
To answer your question on "what was the biggest battle in World War 2", I assume you are including both fronts(ETO and Pacific); the answer would be the Hurtegon Forest, that was fought in the ETO(European Theater of Operations).

first answer:

The three largest navies in the world at the start in 1939 were United States, Great Britain & Japan. The US & GB navies were about the same size at the start. Beginning in 1940 the US Navy began to exceed the size of the British Royal Navy. By the end of the war in August 1945, the US Navy was by far the largest in the world. In fact, its size was greater than any other navy in world history (before or after the war).

The british navy was the largest at the beginning ww2

second answer:

Also the US Navy at the end of the Second World War had a very large qualitative advantage over the navies of almost all other nations with respect to: electronics & radar; naval aviation-aircraft, crew & support; damage control training & procedures, large fleet operations; anti-submarine warfare; anti-aircraft weapons & proximity fuses; naval gunfire (range, accuracy, armor penetration, rate of fire, etc.); superior ship classes (faster, longer range, better protected, more firepower, etc); excellent at-sea refueling & replenishment capability; better maintained & supplied units; and better signals security.

Bottom line-By the end of the war, the US Navy was both extremely large and extremely well armed, equipped, trained, manned, and led.
