Structure of the Royal Arcerion Naval Service: Difference between revisions

=== The Fleet ===

The Fleet, also known as the Fleet Command, is the administrative headquarters and command element for all of the warships, support vessels, and aircraft of the Royal Arcerion Naval Service. Within the Fleet, it is separated into multiple components depending on their function, operational role, or composition. The sub-components of the Fleet are: Theatre Commands, Naval Air Arm, Support Command, and the Raiding Command. The Theatre Commands represent the administrative headquarters for Task Forces of warships and on occasion, submarines, around Ixnay. The Theatre Commands are organized into four distinct groupings, those being the Malentine and Songun Seas, the Polynesian Sea (including St. Brendan's Strait) and lastly the Arctic Command (including the Western Odoneru Ocean and Albion Sea). The Malentine Command is based out of Port Gibson in [[Foxhey Governorate]], and its sister command the Songun is based out of Chester-on-Moore, in [[Moorden Governorate]]. The most relevant modern command, the Polynesian Command is based out of the Southampton Yards at [[Equatorial Ostiecia#Joint Naval Station Daniel Launtceur|Joint Naval Station Daniel Launtceur]]. Lastly, the Arctic Command is based out of [[Port Northford]] in [[Howland Governorate]].   

The Naval Air Arm is the main aerial warfare component for the Naval Service. It is primarily made up of four kinds of aircraft, spanning numerous types. The primary warfighting function for the Naval Air Arm is the Naval Air Squadrons that are aboard Arcerion's only fleet carrier, the Kurst. These are made up of [[Aeroco Kestrel|Aeroco Kestrels]] of the 'M' or maritime variant. Supporting these are the maritime patrol aircraft of the air force, also organized into Naval Air Squadrons. These maritime patrol aircraft are fixed-wing aicraft that are designed and equipped for long duration flights over water, primarily conducting anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-ship warfare (AShW) and in some cases, supporting Search and Rescue. The third kind of aircraft employed by the Naval Air Arm are rotor wing helicopters that launch and are recovered from the frigates, corvettes and other ships of the Naval Service. Lastly, there are specialty squadrons of drones and other unmanned systems that are more newly introduced to the Naval Air Arm.
