In Fhainnin designations, ships under 3000 tons displacement full load are classed as corvettes or frigates, while ships 3000-9500 tons are classed as destroyers. Cruisers are rated at 9500-18,000 tons. Larger ships are designated more informally on the basis of role. Typically, a task force of Fhainnin ships will be a select core of capital vessels or a single capital ship, which will be attended by a mixed compliment of destroyer craft. In the mid-20th century, destroyers were split into fleet defense, anti-submarine, and anti-ship roles; after the 1978 Reforms, destroyers were split into 'light' and 'heavy' variants, with light destroyers being tasked primarily with ASW and mine duties with a missile compliment slanted heavily towards surface-to-air combat, while heavy destroyers feature a much larger compliment of missiles for both surface-to-air an surface-to-surface attack. While both types are capable of any general destroyer task, divided duties are considered a way of improving individual ship performance. | In Fhainnin designations, ships under 3000 tons displacement full load are classed as corvettes or frigates, while ships 3000-9500 tons are classed as destroyers.

Future plans for the Navy involve an expansion of the destroyer fleet from 66 active service vessels to eighty, while allowing aging-out to reduce the number of heavy surface ships - namely dropping to 18 cruisers and only a single battlecruiser to act as the flagship of the service. In addition, many of the existing older destroyers will be refitted to reflect a greater expected need for anti-air duties given the increasing importance of air-based radar and anti-ship missiles in naval warfare, while the newer ships will primarily be split along ASW/mine operations specialization and fleet defense, with both having anti-shipping capability. It is believed both new variants will primarily deliver anti-ship munitions through VLS systems rather than launch tubes as most previous vessels have. | Future plans for the Navy involve an expansion of the destroyer fleet from 66 active service vessels to eighty, while allowing aging-out to reduce the number of heavy surface ships - namely dropping to 18 cruisers and leaving only a single battlecruiser to act as the flagship of the service.

====Fleets==== | ====Fleets==== | ||
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 Fhainnin navy currently operates x ships, of which x are noncombatant support ships. Support ships are not named individually and as such are denoted only by number. | |||
