The '''National Army Naval Bureau''', colloquially the '''National Army Naval Forces''' (NFBM or NBM), is the seaborne component of the [[Office of the National Army (Faneria)|National Army of the Republic of the Fhainn]], managing a fleet of nearly two hundred major surface craft and submarines. It is the predominant naval power in the [[Vandarch]] Sea and the primary means by which Faneria projects hard power globally.

==History==
====Revolutionary Peoples' Army Naval Service====
The NBM began its service as the RPANS, or Revolutionary Peoples' Army Naval Service, from those parts of the Royal Navy which defected to Republican rebels, and were formed into coastal patrol units to protect RPA land forces. Much of the Royal Navy initially sided with the Royalists, as the fleet was a point of pride for the Throne and sailors were generally well-treated and loyal to their captains, most of whom were themselves minor nobility.


The '''Urcean people''' are a nation and ethnic group native to [[Urcea]]. The Urcean identity is of early medieval origin. Their ethnonym is derived from peoples living close to the [[Urce River]] in antiquity, referred to in [[Lebhan]] as ''Urciona''.
A number of fleet elements were scuttled or defected to foreign nations as a result of the war, namely to [[Hendalarsk]] and [[Eldmora-Regulus]]. This left the Navy in a dilapidated state postwar in stark contrast to its previous glory, requiring a flurry of shipbuilding and reonstruction of talent and officer pools. These rapid reforms would lead to a number of innovative thinkers being invited into the planning for the new Republican navy, as well as a number of failed ship designs in the 1910s..
 
The Urceans largely descend from two main historical population groups – the earlier [[Latinic people]] of [[Adonerum]] and the native [[Gaelic people]] who inhabited [[Levantia]] prior to the Latinic conquest. While the [[Great Levantia]] period largely saw a degree of segregation between the politically empowered Latinic population as compared to the geographically and politically marginalized Gaelic people, there was nonetheless a degree of admixture and integration. By the time of the fall of Great Levantia, integration of the two cultures began in earnest in the Urce River valley, and by the time of [[St. Julius I]], the residents of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] and the [[Urce River]] valley were in the throes of hybridization, beginning a truly unique, Urcean culture.
 
Besides the "core" Urcean ethnicity, sometimes called "[[The Valley (Urcea)|valley]] Urceans" in relation to their origin in the greater [[Urce River]] valley region known as [[The Valley (Urcea)|the Valley]], other ethnic groups are sometimes considered to be part of the wider Urcean identity. Most prominent among these are the [[Caenish people]] of [[Canaery]] and the southern tip of Levantia.
 
== Identity ==
Despite global classifications of Urceans consistently placing them as among [[Latinic people]]s, and relations between [[Urcea]] and Caphiria and other states on [[Sarpedon]] are characterized by their cultural kinship, Urceans consider themselves neither Latinic or Gaelic but rather the descendants of both groups. While the concept of ''Urceanity'' derives from the cultural traditions of the country as well as the ethnic admixture of Gaels and Latins, immigrants have been known to be able to integrate into Urcean culture.
 
A vast majority of Urceans are divided into what are known as the [[Estates of Urcea]], kinship-and-identity groups that bind families together. Deriving from the early voting tribes of [[Great Levantia]] and the socio-political client-patron relationships within them, the Estates have 25 distinct "Latinic" Estates and 25 distinct "Gaelic" Estates, with the latter being integrated during the latter Great Levantia period as part of the process of what sociologists call ''Urceanization''. Distinctly, Urceans do not see themselves as the same Latin peoples who forged and lived within Great Levantia, instead claiming heritage both from Great Levantia and the Gaelic peoples that it conquered, seeing themselves as the direct descendants of neither but instead the product of both. In this way, Urceans view themselves as the "consummation of the whole history of [[Levantia]]" in the words of [[Kiravia|Kiravian]] scholar [[P. G. W. Gelema]].
=== Historic Urceanization ===
"Historic" Urceanization refers to a process which occurred beginning approximately in the 3rd century and ending in the 9th century that saw groups of [[Latinic people]] and [[Gaelic people]] living in Southern [[Levantia]] begin to form a single, albeit broad, cultural continuum that could be identified today as "Urcean". Much, though not all of this process, was accompanied by frequent intermarriage among these peoples, especially in the midst of and following the collapse of [[Great Levantia]].
=== Late Urceanization ===
"Late" Urceanization refers to any continuation of the process of the growth and adaptation of Urcean identity by groups of people at any time following the 9th century. Subjects of late Urceanization tend to be groups living in Urcea's geographic periphery and ones incorporated into the country following the [[Golden Bull of 1098]]. Accordingly, these groups tend to have entirely different historical origins than the "valley Urceans" and also retain a partially separate identity. These groups - primarily the [[Caenish people|Caens]], [[Gassavelian people|Gassavelians]], and [[Garán people]]s - nonetheless view themselves as Urcean under varying models of dual identity.
====Dual identity====
Dual identity is a sociological phenomenon prevalent among the groups of people who were subject to "late" Urceanization. People in these groups tend to view themselves as Urcean, both in terms of nationality as well as ethnicity, in addition to their core held ethnic view of themselves as a distinct people. While the relationship between Urcean nationality and these groups is fairly straight forward due to its long political control over their homelands, scholars and cultural observers have long been interested in what sense these groups consider themselves ethnically Urcean. The primary justification behind dual identity theory among its adherents is that, even if history separated the development of specific cultural mores and identity between the residents of the Valley and residents of the periphery, the original "ingredients" of these cultural groups are all the same. By way of example, this theory holds that a [[Gassavelian people|Gassavelian]] and a "valley Urcean" share ultimately the same origin point in ancient [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] peoples, even if the Gassavelians were later primarily influenced by people from [[Audonia]] while Valley residents were influenced by settlers from [[Adonerum]].
 
Efforts by the [[Government of Urcea]] as well as cultural exchanges as part of the [[Levantine Union]] have largely failed to include people adhering to [[Derian identity]] - particularly those of Urcean nationality living in [[Transionia]] - within dual identity structure. Scholars have posited that the relative recentness of Transionia's incorporation, combined with severe ethnic tensions in and around [[Dericania]] since 1800, have made efforts at identity integration difficult.
== Language ==
{{Main|Language in Urcea}}
[[Urcea]] has three officially recognized languages, [[Julian Ænglish]], {{wp|Ecclesiastical Latin|Latin}}, and [[Lebhan language|Lebhan]], of which only Julian Ænglish is spoken on a regular basis by a vast majority of the population, used in business, personal, and official contexts. Abroad, Urceans speak Julian Ænglish, and their presence has made it an important language of diplomacy and business in [[Crona]] and especially in the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]] states.
===Naming conventions===
 
== Religion ==
Being a member of the [[Catholic Church]] - practicing or otherwise - is considered to be a vital part of Urcean identity, so much so that {{wp|Protestant}} and other faith Urcean nationals have assumed a completely different ethnic identity over the past five centuries known as [[Cisionian people]]. Cisionians assumed their identity not only from Urcean external views but from internal identity realization based on centuries of cultural isolation. Accordingly, Catholicism and elements of it permeate every part of the culture of Urceans, ranging from pop culture references of {{wp|scripture}}, to popular legends of {{wp|Saints}}, to the legal and cultural structuring of the week around Sunday, the day when many Urceans attend {{wp|Mass}}.
 
== Culture ==
{{Main|Culture of Urcea}}
 
The Urcean culture is an [[Occidental]] culture with some recent influences of [[Crona|Cronan]] culture and society. Urceans have many of their own unique social and cultural characteristics, such as {{wp|dialect}}, {{wp|music}}, {{wp|arts}}, {{wp|social habits}}, {{wp|cuisine}} and {{wp|folklore}}. Most of these traditions and mores developed from the bend of [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] and [[Latinic people|Latin]] people, incorporating earlier cultural traditions while iterating and creating new ones throughout history. Religion and politics both heavily influence Urcean culture and worldviews, with belief in [[Organicism]] and strong adherence to the [[Catholic Church]] reflected in nearly every social institution. Urceans are largely viewed abroad as strongly {{wp|Conservatism|conservative}} politically and socially, though this view is thought by most scholars to be a generalization, with a wide array of viewpoints and geographical expressions of those views present throughout Urcean society.

The RPANS was reformed into the NBM in the 1910s, and initially focused on building up a core of cruisers and destroyers. Initial development followed legacy planning such as the [[2:1 Plan]], which focused on dominance in the Vandarch, but later began branching out with greater emphasis on the [[Kilikas Sea|Kilikas]] and [[Sea of Nordska|Nordskan]] Seas. It was one of the first forces to adopt a preference for task-force squadrons over battleship lines due to its lack of heavy surface elements, with a large number of training drills being conducted to test ship designs and train crews feverishly. The navy continued to rebuild its strength, replacing its few battleships with more modern vessels, favoring the concept of the 'fast battleship' promulgated by Burgundine doctrine. This would later expand to conversions and testing of support carriers and the phasing in of seaplane catapults on many larger vessels.

====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).
==Structure and Assets==
====Insignia====
====Doctrine====
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 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====
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.
==List of Active Navy Vessels==
The Fhainnin navy currently operates 178 warships, of which 133 are capable of extended blue-water operation. It additionally operates 50 large noncombat support craft and a fleet of roughly 230 patrol boats, landing craft, recovery submarines, and other vessels.
