Historical Mongolian naval forces
Historically, the Mongolian Navy was one of the largest in the world, during the time of Kublai Khan.[35] However, most of the fleet sank during the Mongol invasions of Japan.[36] The Mongolian Navy was recreated in the 1930s, while under Soviet rule, using it to transport oil.[37] The Mongolian Navy in 1990 consisted of a single vessel, the Sukhbaatar III, which was stationed on Lake Khövsgöl, the nation’s largest body of water by volume. The Navy was made up of 7 men, which meant it was the smallest navy in the world at the time.[37] In 1997, the navy was privatized, and offered tours on the lake to cover expenses.[38] In 2001, it was reported only one of the seven members knew how to swim but this one person was scared of the water.[better source needed][35] Currently Mongolia does not have any official Navy, but they have small border patrols on Buir Lake near China's border, patrolling the border between Mongolia and China in the lake.[citation needed]

So, meme is maybe not fully accurate in that "Currently Mongolia does not have any official Navy" but still a good meme lol.
