====Modern Era ====
The Naval Forces expanded considerably after the 1980s, rebuilding a spall core of cruisers and constructing the carrier _____ in the 1990s. Since then, fleet composition has leaned heavily towards expanding the destroyer and frigate wings of the navy, creating a blue-water capacity with marine landing assets, and the development of a native Vertical Launch System introduced in the 2000s. The major impetus of modernization has been the formation of task squadrons for international deployments centered around carrier assets - a concept first tested during the [[Peninsular War]]. This includes the phasing out of late-20th century ship classes and the development of ships based on a 'combat triangle' of ASW/mine warfare (managed by frigates), surface/air attack (managed by destroyers), and fires support (air or artillery, managed by cruisers and landing support ships).

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.

====Procurement====
Future plans for the Navy involve an expansion of the destroyer fleet from 38 active service vessels to fifty, 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. 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 the reduction of the light surface fleet through natural ageing, while growing the helicopter carrier wing. In the late 20th Century, the navy began a program of large battlecruisers for propaganda purposes, which has since been reduced to a single hull to act as a flagship of the Navy. VLS systems will entirely replace angled cell launchers near to the mid-century mark, while a greater emphasis on information suites, RADAR systems, and anti-air/counterfire missiles is being pushed for on almost all levels of the civilian administration and by a significant officers' lobby.
====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.
