The '''Ghantish Navy''' is the maritime arm of the [[Ghantish Imperial Forces]]. Tasked with defending the sovereignty of Ghant's territorial waters, assisting its allies in war and contributing towards the peacekeeping and the maintenance of stability in volatile regions of the world, the Ghantish Navy is a potent force with global reach.
==History==
As a continent surrounded by the North Thalassan Ocean, the [[Ghantish People]] has long been a maritime nation, and its navy its first line of defence. Despite its historically isolationist stance, the navy of the Empire of Ghant had always kept apace of the development of naval technology and tactics of the great powers, lest they fall behind and allow the Ghantish homeland to be vulnerable to invasion. As of 1935, on the eve of the [[Ghantish Revolution]], the Ghantish Navy's order of battle stood at 4 modern {{Wp|fast battleship}}s, 6 modernised old {{wp|dreadnought}} battleships, 7 heavy and 11 light cruisers built between the 1920's-1935, a pair of aircraft carriers modified from a terminated battlecruiser program, and a burgeoning destroyer and submarine fleet. The Ghantish Revolution inflicted a measure of damage to the navy, and afterwards it struggled, like the rest of the world's great powers, to adapt to the rapid technological change in naval technology between the 1940's to 1960's. The current Ghantish Navy is a product of this extensive heritage of evolution and adaptation.
==Fleet Units==
The modern Ghantish fleet is built around its two [[Helios-class light carrier]], the HIMS Leviathan and Colossus. Each is the head of its {{wp|carrier battle group}}, composed of a destroyer squadron with at least one to two [[Warrior-class destroyer]]s, two to four [[Gezi-class frigate]]s. The carrier battle groups provide the Ghantish Navy's primary means of air- and sea-control, as well as its power-projection capability. They also have the function of protecting and providing support to Ghant's amphibious warfare elements in a major landing operation.
Complementing the 'battle fleet' centred around the two heavy carriers is a 'patrol fleet'. Composed of some thirteen corvettes, these long-endurance surface units provide a cost-effective way for the Ghantish Navy to discharge its primary peacetime duties of anti-piracy, long range patrol, 'showing the flag' and 'gunboat diplomacy' where the deployment of a full carrier battle group may be disproportionate or counterproductive.
==Fleet Air Arm==
The Ghantish Navy's Fleet Air Arm administers the aircraft in the navy's service. These include the fixed-wing aeroplanes and helicopters embarked upon Ghant's men-of-war, as well as shore-based aircraft tasked with supporting them. In today's navy, they are split into roughly five categories: anti-submarine helicopters, fighter-bombers, maritime patrol aircraft, {{wp|Airborne early warning and control|airborne early-warning}} helicopters and miscellaneous types of helicopters and drones.
Unlike the Imperial Air Force, owing to the size contraints imposed by the light carriers fielded, the navy's strike fighters are {{wp|STOVL}} types of [[Arthurista]]n origin. In the 1980's, they were subsonic [[Arthuristan_Dynamics_Kestrel#Sea_Kestrel|Sea Kestrel]]'s, later replaced in the 2000's with the supersonic [[Aigios/Arthuristan Dynamics Whirlwind|Whirlwind]].
==Ghantish Marines==
The Ghantish Marines, also known as the Ghantish Naval Infantry, is the amphibious warfare arm of the empire's navy. Its main combat formation is the Imperial Marine Brigade, which is predominantly a light infantry formation with three rifle battalions, an artillery battalion equipped with 18 {{wp|FH77}} 155mm guns and 4 {{Wp|HIMARS}} rocket launchers, an air defence battery equipped with {{Wp|RBS-70}} missiles, an engineer company, a reconnaissance company, a company of 13 {{wp|Combat_Vehicle_90#Export_versions|CV90120}} light tanks, a signal company, an assault boats company and a logistics and maintenance battalion. The infantry elements are partially mobilised in {{wp|BvS 10}} articulated tracked vehicles. The brigade may be deployed by the navy's three [[Menelaus-class landing platform dock]]s. The entire force consists of roughly 5,000 personnel.
The Combat Swimmers Unit is a company-sized formation of the Ghantish Marines, trained and equipped for special operations in a maritime environment.
