===Submarine Squadrons===
Submarine squadrons are composed of 5 submarines per squadron and are purely an administrative and logistical formation- as such, submarine squadrons do not have flagships and do not conduct operations as an operational unit. The exception to this rule is in 3 Submarine Squadron, which contains the Navy's 4 ''Barracuda''-class guided missile submarines; who have conducted combined operations in the past as part of operational evaluations in their capacity as strategic weapons platforms- however they do not regularly, nor does doctrine call for, their massed employment. The other submarine squadrons are composed of ''Moray''-class nuclear fast attack submarines and ''Orca''-class diesel electric submarines. The former of which normally conduct patrols beyond Meridonian waters, the latter of which generally remain within range of Meridon. Meridon currently maintains 6 submarine squadrons- 3 nuclear-powered, 2 diesel electric and one of nuclear-powered guided missile submarines.

Ship organization

Organization of warships

Operational formations

The two established types of operational naval formations in the Meridonian Navy are Carrier Task Groups (CTGs) and Amphibious Ready Groups (ARGs). These forces are designated and self-contained combatant forces as opposed to Surface Action Groups, which are normally adhoc and will take ships as needed from standing formations. Carrier Task Groups may vary in size to be smaller or larger than their prescribed units depending on the requirements of a mission. Escorting warships will rotate out of service with a CTG usually after an 18 month to 3 year service with the formation for a low-readiness period. Amphibious Ready Groups do not change in size, although they may be (and regularly are) escorted by other warships. Rarely but occasionally will ships rotate spots from within ARG formations.

Surface Squadrons

Surface Squadrons (SUFRONs) are normally composed of 4 to 5 guided missile destroyers or frigates. SUFRONs are administrative, logistical and control units, and rarely (if ever) deploy as a full operational unit. Surface squadrons more regularly contribute forces to standing operational groups or ad-hoc groups in the form of surface action groups.

The Navy currently has 9 surface squadrons, 5 consisting of destroyers and 4 consisting of frigates.
