The Kiravian Navy (Kiravix Dyrarígoran) is the maritime branch of the Kiravian Armed Forces, responsible for defending Kiravian territories, shipping, and interests at sea.
Tracing its roots to 1547 AD, the Kiravian Navy stands as a formidable maritime force integral to Kiravian national identity. Anchored in an island continent with a network of overseas territories, Kiravia's economic lifeline is intricately woven with maritime trade, elevating the navy's role to that of a vital guardian ensuring the uninterrupted flow of essential resources. Throughout history, the navy has been a dynamic force, shaping Kiravia's destiny through colonial endeavours and countering the expansionist ambitions of rivals, notably Burgundie. The Kiro-Burgundian Wars and the War of the Faskano Strait bear testament to the navy's strategic prowess on the global stage.
Key figures like Grand Admiral Hesperius Leonoix and Palteran Leonoix have etched their names in the annals of Kiravian naval history. The Kiravian Civil War proved a critical juncture for the Navy, leading to the evacuation of vessels to loyalist overseas territories or their intentional scuttling. Rising from these challenges, the navy has evolved into a force comprising approximately 500 vessels, with 212 combat-ready units, including aircraft carriers, helicopter carriers, attack submarines, and ballistic missile submarines. This naval strength solidifies Kiravia's position as a formidable player in global maritime operations.
Strategically positioned bases, including Telmar Naval Harbour in Ventarya State, Perakan Naval Operations Complex in Eusa, Leviti Naval Base in Sarolasta, Mirśamur Naval Base in the Melian Isles, and Scapa Naval Base in the Scapa Protectorate, serve as linchpins in Kiravia's naval operations. These bases project power into international waters, ensuring the protection of Kiravian interests across the globe. Operating under a forward-deployed blue water navy doctrine, the Kiravian Navy is a proactive force responding to regional crises, executing Kiravian foreign policy, and supporting ground operations of the Kiravian Army and Marine Corps. With a global presence, the Navy exemplifies Kiravia's unwavering commitment to maintaining a secure and influential maritime domain, thereby shaping the nation's destiny on the seas and beyond.
