The '''National Army Naval | The '''National Army Naval Forces''' (lit. ''National Sea Army''), is the naval warfare service of the [[Office of the National Army (Faneria)|National Army of the Republic of the Fhainn]], managing a fleet of nearly two hundred major surface craft and submarines. It is the predominant naval power in the [[Vandarch]] Sea and the primary means by which Faneria projects hard power globally. | ||

The Naval Forces expanded considerably after the 1980s, rebuilding a small core of cruisers and constructing the carrier _____ in the 1990s. Since then, fleet composition has leaned heavily towards expanding the destroyer and frigate wings of the navy, creating a blue-water capacity with marine landing assets, and the development of a native Vertical Launch System introduced in the 2000s. The major impetus of modernization has been the formation of task squadrons for international deployments centered around carrier assets - a concept first tested during the [[Peninsular War]]. This includes the phasing out of late-20th century ship classes and the development of ships based on a 'combat triangle' of ASW/mine warfare (managed by frigates), surface/air attack (managed by destroyers), and fires support (air or artillery, managed by cruisers and landing support ships). | The Naval Forces expanded considerably after the 1980s, rebuilding a small core of cruisers and constructing the carrier _____ in the 1990s.

The Navy maintains four Fleets (''Cabhlacann'') which act as theater commands: Vandarch (''Déithaigh''), Kilikas, Nordska, and Travellers. These fleets are broken up into Squadrons (''Scuadrúnann'') that operate as pre-readied task forces, although changes in Squadron structure are commonplace and done as required by the geopolitical situation. | The Navy maintains four Fleets (''Cabhlacann'') which act as theater commands: Vandarch (''Déithaigh''), Kilikas, Nordska, and Travellers.

The NSA fields marine landing forces in the form of the 12u Naval Infantry Rhon, which is the equivalent of an upscaled [[National Army Land Forces (Faneria)|National Army Land Forces]] Rhon, featuring six brigade-level formations instead of the typical 2 to 4. At their height, the Naval Infantry were composed of four ''Rhon'', albeit of a contemporary size, during the Second Great War, and the Naval Infantry have fought in every war fought by Faneria since their formation in 1910. | |||
