 === Mission ===
 The Royal Arcerion naval Service's main objective is the protection of Arcer maritime sovereignty, assisting with power projection, and ensuring the continuance of maritime commerce through Arcer and international waterways in times of war. It regularly trains in core competencies as a primarily green-water Navy, focusing on tasks such as area and sea lane denial, mine warfare (both mine laying and mine countermeasures), maritime patrol, and subsurface warfare (encompassing both submarines and anti-submarine warfare). One of the implied tasks that comes from the Navy's mission statement revolves around the continuance of maritime commerce to Arcerion during a period of armed conflict, meaning that Arcer ships must be adept at both convoy escort, patrol, and surface-surface/surface-to-air warfighting at sea.

-The escort fleet comprises the surface fleets main naval warfare vessels. It is comprised of guided missile destroyers and frigates and is the Navy's main effort for procurement, life cycle management, fleet upgrades, and support. Arcerion has seven destroyers (''Warrington''-class) and sixteen frigates (''BURG SOMETHING''-class) in active service. The primary function of these vessels is twofold, the first to provide escort and screening functions for the larger capital ships - keeping them shielded from air, sea, and undersea threats. The destroyers and frigates of Arcerion also represent the major deploying forces for expeditionary sea missions and standing deployments such as counter-narcotics and counter-piracy missions.

-The eight ''Warrington''-class provides much of the fleet's horsepower for anti-aircraft and missile defence tasks, utilizing its wide array of integrated anti-air systems, close-in-weapons systems (CIWS), combining them with advanced long distance search and target acquisition radars. Whereas the ''Foxhey''-class are the 'shield' for the fleet's capital vessels, the ''BURG SOMETHING''-class are the 'sword,' or the primary offensive vessels in the fleet. Utilizing several different kinds of long-range torpedoes and anti-ship missiles (AShM), they provide a deterrent against hostile vessels and are primarily used to screen and harass enemy surface vessels.

+The {{wp|FREMM multipurpose frigate|''Panomes''}}-class are slated to be replace by the [[Arco-Burgoignesc Patrol Corvette and Aviso]] program, which will assume patrol and escort vessel duties, the remaining {{wp|FREMM multipurpose frigate|''Panomes''}} class to be refitted as anti-submarine vessels.

 ==== Patrol Fleet ====
-The Patrol fleet maintains Arcer maritime sovereignty in littoral areas and projects power into contested sea lanes such as the Warrington and Songun Straits. This capability is currently represented by fourteen ''Hughes''-class corvettes, which are scheduled to be replaced by the [[Arco-Burgoignesc Patrol Corvette and Aviso]] program.

 ==== Oceanographic Ships ====
 Arcerion maintains three scientific and research ships for the navy. ''ACS'' Howland is the nation's arctic exploration and survey vessel, named for the renowned Arcer explorer [[John Howland|Sir John Howland]]. It also maintains a pair of sister ships, the ''Emily'' and ''Forthright'', named for some of the mythic Arcer [[Arco Polar Expeditions|arctic exploration vessels]] from the turn of the century.
