The '''Royal Arcerion Naval Service''', also referred to as the '''Arcer Navy''', is the seaborne military component of the Armed Forces of Arcerion. It was initially founded by the King of Ardmore through a Royal Decree in 1805 as the Arcer Cutter Service, and later was renamed to its current name. It is one of the oldest professional navies in Crona, and draws much of its history and heritage from its predecessor, the Royal Ardmori Navy. It played a significant role in the Second Great War, and its expansion afterwards into the Occidental Cold War meant that it saw frequent deployments in the Malentine and Songun Seas, as well as the Odoneru Ocean to interdict weapons and smuggled equipment during the Fourth Bush War. The Navy today is a modern fighting force that assists with ensuring freedom of navigation and maritime security, serving as one of the main methods of power projection in Arcerion. | |||

The Warrington Strait remains a key choke point both for military and commercial vessel navigation in the Malentine/Songun Seas. The continued patrol and defense of the Warrington Straits reflects the importance of it economically not only to Arcerion, but also to the wider international community that borders on the Malentine Basin. The Strait forms a natural canalization and is responsible for some of the highest rates of maritime traffic in Ixnay, and the Royal Arcerion Naval Service works with large corporations and maritime navigation authorities to ensure that it remains a safe passageway for freighters, oilers, and large container ships. | The Warrington Strait remains a key choke point both for military and commercial vessel navigation in the Malentine/Songun Seas.

Ships, stations, and formations that were established, named, or decreed prior to the Ardmori Revolution and the dissolution of the Ardmore Monarchy are given the prefix "Royal." In the cases of sailing ships and submarines, this meant the historical use of His/Her Majesty's Arcer Naval Ship (HMANS). However, after the Ardmori Crown ceased to exist, it now only remains as the historical and figurative figurehead of the Navy. Modern ships (usually post-Second Great War), are given the prefix Arcerion Confederate Ship (ACS). Shore installations are similar in nature, with pre-war names indicating their Crown-affiliation. The naming convention follows ships, as in Royal Arcerion Naval Service Station (RANSS) or His/Her Majesty's Arcerion Naval Station (HMANS), and the two are considered interchangeable. Post-war institutions have a variety of names, with no set prefix, for example, the Arcer Navy Testing and Research Centre (ANTRC) which tests and conducts weapons evaluations was created in the 1960s therefore has no Royal Affiliation. | ||
