Structure of the Royal Arcerion Naval Service
The Structure of the Royal Arcerion Naval Service consists of multiple branches, those being: The Admiralty, Naval Operations Branch, Shore Establishment, and the Fleet.
The organization of the Navy has changed over the centuries and gradually evolved to its current state after the end of the Occidental Cold War and following the Final War of the Deluge. During the First and Second Great Wars, it was organized along the Ardmori tradition, which centred around Battleship, Cruiser, and Destroyer divisions which was each composed of squadrons of ships of the named class. However the end of the Occidental Cold War, and the closer defense relationship with Burgundie has gradually evolved the structure of the Navy towards the Task Force system wherein shops are administratively controlled by squadrons or flotillas, but functionally and operationally assigned to combatant commanders in Task Forces dedicated for a certain mission or operation. By the 1990s and early 2000s, this was the norm and the creation of a Burgoignesc surface warfare school to be attended by Arccer naval officers furthered the changes in doctrine that shaped the changes in the Naval Service.
In modern times, the structure of the Navy can be considered to have the traditions, heraldry, and historical lineage of the Ardmori Navy, but functionally it functions as an offshoot of Burgoignesc naval doctrine and practices.
