The Imperial Navy of Aciria (Aciriano: Marina Imperiale di Aciria), often abbreviated as INA, is the naval warfare branch of the Aciriani Armed Forces responsible for both maritime and amphibious operations. The INA has integrated the Imperial Marines as an autonomous branch of the Navy. Latest official reports report 70,000 personnel in the INA, including the Imperial Marines which make up 30,000 of the naval personnel.
The Imperial Navy of Aciria was founded on December 10, 1785 by Giovanni I, 5 months after the founding of the Imperial Army on July 7, 1785. Aciria was in financial ruin after the Age of Instability and was in no position to build an effective, modern navy, causing Giovanni I to postpone the founding until after he had managed to stabilize the newly established empire. In the months after the establishment of the empire, piracy had become a problem in the gulf of Cartaím after sailors in the Griffe peninsula had lost their jobs due to the unstable political situation reducing incoming and outgoing trade. To combat this problem, Giovanni founded the Imperial Navy by seizing merchant ships and outfitting them with cannons, creating makeshift battleships for them to be able to secure the gulf. Over time the navy developed into a naval fighting force to be reckoned with, typically used to combat piracy around Aciriani shipping routes and deter foreign invasions.
