The Stenzan Navy is the strongest branch of the Stenzan military, having been considered the "Tip of the Spear" for Stenzan protection for decades. With Stenzan having been an isolated nation for a long time. Stenza has quite a modern naval force built around four Nuclear-powered ''Kapiti''-class aircraft carriers and five 1940s vintage ''Ka'o''-class Heavy Cruisers, three of which have been modernized to act as missile cruisers while two more have been refurbished as command ships. Stenza's other surface combatants include both modern and outdated Destroyers and Frigates. Under the waves, Stenza has both modern Nuclear powered attack and ballistic missile submarines, supplemented by more numerous diesel-electric submarines. A Maritime Aviation branch completes the Stenzan Navy's offensive capabilities, consisting of both the traditional carrier-borne aviation capabilities, maritime patrol aircraft and a plethora of other aviation forces. The Stenzan navy is considered a blue water force.


==Coast Guard==
The traditional Coast Guard duties of coastal defense, search and rescue and maritime law enforcement are carried out by Stenza's navy, using a plethora of coastal small craft and aircraft split up in Coastal Defense Zones, these zones are usually assigned one or two outdated frigates as well. Reservists generally spend a cruise with Stenza's defensive forces once or twice a year to meet their service obligation.
 
The Stenzan Navy also operates the Stenzan Auxillary Navy, a command consisting of both civilian and naval crews that staff Stenza's various support vessels, such as supply ships and transports.
 
Stenza's navy consists of the following main seafaring forces (Auxillaries and smaller craft not included):

Although Stenza's government neither confirms or denies it, Stenza has been known to be a nuclear capable nation that has developed, tested and operationally fielded Nuclear weapons. Stenza's nuclear arsenal is not too large, with Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles reportedly being capable of delivering multiple-hundred kiloton warheads while nuclear tipped torpedoes and aerial missiles being reported to be in the sub-hundred kiloton range. Nuclear-tipped anti-ship missiles are also reportedly fielded, both on surface combatants and on land, although specifics are uncertain and their existence has been denied by the Stenzan government.
