The '''Imperial Naval Fleet''' (Latin: ''Classis Imperialis''), also known as the '''Caphirian Navy''', or the '''Navy of Caphiria''', is the naval warfare service branch of the [[Imperial Armed Forces of Caphiria]], serving as the navy of the [[Imperium of Caphiria]]. With a budget of $ | The '''Imperial Naval Fleet''' ([[Caphiric Latin]]: '''''Classis Imperialis'''''), also known as the '''Caphirian Navy''', or the '''Navy of Caphiria''', is the naval warfare service branch of the [[Imperial Armed Forces of Caphiria]], serving as the navy of the [[Imperium of Caphiria]]. With a budget of $500 billion and 900,000 active crewmen, along with several thousand officers, the navy of Caphiria is the smallest branch of the Imperial military by personnel, despite boasting over xxx hundred ships of varying sizes and classes. In the past few decades, the [[Imperial Aerial Defense Force]] has taken on many of the duties of the navy, namely their most important one of patrolling Imperial waters. Nevertheless, its importance to the Caphirian economy can not be overstated due to its necessity for controlling Caphiria's assets at sea. | ||
Founded in the heat of the [[First Thyriasian War]], the Caphirian Navy has been instrumental in the Caphirian conquest of the [[Ecinis Sea]], but it never enjoyed the prestige of the [[Imperial Legion]]. Throughout their history, the Caphirians remained a primarily land-based people and relied partially on their more nautically inclined subjects, such as the [[Cartadanians]] and the [[Chimor]], to build their ships. Because of that, the navy was never completely embraced by the Caphirian state, and deemed somewhat "un-Caphirian". In antiquity, navies and trading fleets did not have the logistical autonomy that modern ships and fleets possess. Unlike modern naval forces, the navy even at its height never existed as an autonomous service but operated as an adjunct to the Caphirian army. The Navy would not become its own separate branch until after the Second Civil War. | Founded in the heat of the [[First Thyriasian War]], the Caphirian Navy has been instrumental in the Caphirian conquest of the [[Ecinis Sea]], but it never enjoyed the prestige of the [[Imperial Legion]].

Unlike the other branches of the [[IAF]], every member of the Navy (exc. Admirals and Fleet Admirals), regardless of their ranking, would usually find themselves "on the field", so to speak. The Fleet Commander assumes Captain of the Flagship, the largest and/or most powerful and modern ship in a given command. A Fleet Prefect will usually command the largest ship in their Squadron, though they usually do not act as the captain. | Unlike the other branches of the [[IAF]], every member of the Navy (exc.

These squadrons are divided into three Home Fleets, covering the two Home Seas and the [inland sea to the south]. Other Fleets are created as required for overseas operation, with the Crona Fleet being the only permanently established overseas Fleet. | These squadrons are divided into three Home Fleets, covering the two Home Seas and the [inland sea to the south].

Militarily speaking, the highest position in the Navy is ''Admirallis'' (Admiral) . Although still subordinate to the [[Prime Minister of the Navy]], the ''Admirallis'' has total command over all officers of the Navy and is usually the one to lead important naval movements. Furthermore, the [[Envoy of the Navy]] (''Nuntius Nauticus'') attends virtually all ''[[Caetus Legati]]'', representing the Admiral and thereby giving direct influence over affairs in the Legion. The [[Imperial Commander]] is however his superior, and is actually superior to all other military positions in the Imperium. | ||
On the global scale, there are the four Fleet Commanders (''Magistrassis'') who each lead one of the High Fleets of Caphiria. These fleets are classed as ''Omnium'', ''Levantine'', ''Odoneru'', and ''Aquilonem''. Although militarily speaking all four ''Magistrassis'' are of equal ranking, the ''Magistrassis Omnium'' is the second most prestigious military position in the Navy. Though Fleet Commanders rarely attend the ''Caetus Legati'', they do have their own informal military council where they coordinate global affairs and discuss maritime strategy as well as represent Caphirian interests in international seas. | On the global scale, there are the four Fleet Commanders (''Magistrassis'') who each lead one of the High Fleets of Caphiria.
