It apprears to be a common practice within the navy to drop the type and revison designators and use the project number as an oridnal; for example, [[Project 04260 submarine|Project 04261]] SSK would be refered to as "426th".

Solar Autocracy
Doctrine
From its re-establishment in 1988 up to late 2000s, Itayana Navy was a strictly littoral force tasked with ensuring safety and security of the territorial waters of the Autocracy. The developing economy could not yet sustain any capacity for ocean-going fleet, or even construction of any kind. Its primary ships were acquired from Elatia and Sante Reze, and were of older designs. After the Central Itayana War, the fleet began a process of rapid expansion, rapidly acquiring blue-water capabilites.
All ships of the navy currently in service are of modern designs, dating no earlier than 2000; they favor heavy armament-to-weight ratio, which was indirectly attributed to Elatian influence. The navy appears to employ the most of the Temple's accumulated technological experience, making heavy use of shipborne automation, modern system architectures and deep combat systems integration and sensor fusion. Itayana Navy also employs several types of equipment not commonly seen in other navies, like 660mm torpedoes and, potentially, active anti-torpedo countermeasures employed by large ocean-going diesel submarines.
Key drawbacks, as evaluated by Arthuristan naval analysts, are the lack of strong naval air arm, represented by a few flying boats and converted first-generation K6M strategic bombers, and relatively deficient littoral force lacking hunter-killer submarines and land-based support. The number and quality or repair and maintenance industrial facilities have also been put into question.
Service Vessels
Design designation system
All designs in service of the Itayana Navy are assigned a unique index of several digits. The first digit denotes the broad classification of the design, as explained in the table below. The second three digits form a random project code, usually employed in the internal design work, while the final digit stands for the "major design revision". The latter is officially stated to denote a running line of identical vessels, making it equivalent of a "flight" in various navies; it does not appear to include mid-life upgrades.
Type code | Meaning | Includes |
---|---|---|
0 | Submarines | All submarines, including special-purpose |
1 | Oceangoing combat ships | Aircraft carriers, guided missile destroyers, frigates and ocean-going corvettes |
2 | Littoral combat ships | Littoral corvettes (under 2000 tons) and large missile boats |
3 | Auxiliary combat ships | Minesweepers, training ships, landing ships and coast guard ships |
4 | Auxiliary non-combat ships | Fleet oilers, replenishment and repair ships |
5 | Special-purpose vessels | Intelligence ships, oceanographic vessels et al. |
It apprears to be a common practice within the navy to drop the type and revison designators and use the project number as an oridnal; for example, Project 04261 SSK would be refered to as "426th". Itayana Navy vessels are also assigned Common Reporting Names by foreign observers, a long-standing practice done with regards to Elatian Navy ships. With a few exceptions, those follow the standard Common Reporting Names conventions.
