The '''Zamastanian Naval Forces''' (ZNF), is the naval warfare force of [[Zamastan]], operating under the overarching authority of the [[Zamastanian Armed Forces]]. It includes the '''Zamastanian Navy''' and the '''Marines'''. The Navy maintains a fleet of technologically sophisticated ships and submarines including seven aircraft carriers, amphibious transport docks, ballistic missile submarines, six nuclear fleet submarines, guided missile destroyers, frigates, corvettes, mine-countermeasure vessels and patrol vessels. It has 240 deployable combat vessels and more than 3,100 operational aircraft as of January 2020. The [[Zamastanian Air Force]] replenishes ZNF warships at sea, and augments the Navy's amphibious warfare capabilities through its three Bay-class landing ship vessels. It also works as a force multiplier for the Navy, often doing patrols that frigates used to do. The total displacement of the Navy is approximately 408,750 tonnes (706,759 tonnes including the Zamastan Fleet Auxiliary and Marines). | The '''Zamastanian Naval Forces''' (ZNF), also referred to as the '''Zamastanian Navy and Marine Corps''', is the naval warfare force of [[Zamastan]], operating under the overarching authority of the [[Zamastanian Armed Forces]].

Instead of the gas turbines or diesel-electric systems used for propulsion on many modern warships, the carriers use two pressurized water reactors which drive four propeller shafts and can produce a maximum speed of over 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph) and maximum power of around 260,000 shaft horsepower (190 MW). As a result of the use of nuclear power, the ships are capable of operating for over 20 years without refueling and are predicted to have a service life of over 50 years.

The Zamastanian Naval Forces (ZNF), also referred to as the Zamastanian Navy and Marine Corps, is the naval warfare force of Zamastan, operating under the overarching authority of the Zamastanian Armed Forces. It includes the Zamastanian Navy and the Marines. The Navy maintains a fleet of technologically sophisticated ships and submarines including seven aircraft carriers, amphibious transport docks, ballistic missile submarines, six nuclear fleet submarines, guided missile destroyers, frigates, corvettes, mine-countermeasure vessels and patrol vessels. It has 240 deployable combat vessels and more than 3,100 operational aircraft as of January 2020. The Zamastanian Air Force replenishes ZNF warships at sea, and augments the Navy's amphibious warfare capabilities through its three Bay-class landing ship vessels. It also works as a force multiplier for the Navy, often doing patrols that frigates used to do. The total displacement of the Navy is approximately 408,750 tonnes (706,759 tonnes including the Zamastan Fleet Auxiliary and Marines).
History
Personnel
The Zamastanian Naval Forces has over 296,500 personnel, approximately a quarter of whom are in ready reserve. Of those on active duty, more than eighty percent are enlisted sailors and around fifteen percent are commissioned officers; the rest are midshipmen of the Zamastanian Naval Academy in Jade Harbor and midshipmen of the Naval Reserve Officer Academy at over 180 universities around the country and officer candidates at the Navy's Officer Candidate Center. Enlisted sailors complete basic military training at boot camp and then are sent to complete training for their individual careers.
Sailors prove they have mastered skills and deserve responsibilities by completing Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS) tasks and examinations. Among the most important is the "warfare qualification", which denotes a journeyman level of capability in Surface Warfare, Aviation Warfare, Information Dominance Warfare, Naval Aircrew, Special Warfare, Seabee Warfare, Submarine Warfare or Expeditionary Warfare. Many qualifications are denoted on a sailor's uniform with Zamastanian Navy badges and insignia.

Equipment
Ships
Aircraft carriers
An aircraft carrier is typically deployed along with a host of additional vessels, forming a carrier strike group. The supporting ships, which usually include three or four Orion-equipped (powerful computer and radar technology to track and guide weapons to destroy enemy targets) cruisers and destroyers, a frigate, and two attack submarines, are tasked with protecting the carrier from air, missile, sea, and undersea threats as well as providing additional strike capabilities themselves. Ready logistics support for the group is provided by a combined ammunition, oiler, and supply ship.
Instead of the gas turbines or diesel-electric systems used for propulsion on many modern warships, the carriers use two pressurized water reactors which drive four propeller shafts and can produce a maximum speed of over 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph) and maximum power of around 260,000 shaft horsepower (190 MW). As a result of the use of nuclear power, the ships are capable of operating for over 20 years without refueling and are predicted to have a service life of over 50 years. The first Talon-class carrier, the ZMS Griffiths, was commissioned in 1981.
The Navy has a statutory requirement for a minimum of 7 aircraft carriers. The navy is currently consistant of nine Talon-class nuclear aircraft carrier, with the ZMS Castovia (formerly Gardner) undergoing extensive systems and technologies testing until around 2021, and the eighth and ninth carriers, ZMS Gaviria and ZMS Abotsford, having launched in late 2022 and early 2023 respectively. Additionally, the ZMS Daniels is being constructed and is set to launch in early 2024. All modern-day carriers are named after presidents of Zamastan, currently being Alistair Griffiths, Tyler Kordia, Thomas Dubois, Jean Levasseur, Caius Aebutius, Quintus Belisarius, William Castovia, Marvin Gaviria, Elene Abotsford, and Elijah Daniels. The ZMS Gardner, named after Hawk Gardner, was renamed the ZMS Castovia on September 23rd, 2021.
During the World War, the Upham-class aircraft carrier names were varied, often composed of military leader namesakes, with the ZMS Upham being the class' flagship. The Upham-class ships were constructed between 1940-1960. The immediate post-World War carriers, the Hamilton-class aircraft carrier, were built between 1959-1974. All of these vessels have either been decomissioned or have been sold to nations friendly with Zamastan.

Amphibious warfare vessels
Amphibious assault ships are the centerpieces of Zamastanian amphibious warfare and fulfill the same power projection role as aircraft carriers. However, their striking force centers on land forces instead of aircraft. They deliver, command, coordinate, and fully support all elements of a 2,000-men-strong Unit in an amphibious assault using both air and amphibious vehicles.
Cruisers
Cruisers are large surface combat vessels that conduct anti-air/anti-missile warfare, surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, and strike operations independently or as members of a larger task force. Modern guided missile cruisers were developed out of a need to counter the anti-ship missile threat facing the Zamastanian Navy. Cruisers are named after geographic names in Zamastan, often cities, rivers, or mountains.

Destroyers
Destroyers are multi-mission medium surface ships capable of sustained performance in anti-air, anti-submarine, anti-ship, and offensive strike operations. Like cruisers, guided missile destroyers are primarily focused on surface strikes using the Firebird Land Attack Missiles and fleet defense through missile systems. As in the case of frigates, destroyers are named after Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard heroes, with the flagship destroyer of the Percilius-class being named the ZMS Lance Pelio after famed World War Admiral Lance Pelio, and the flagship of the Pemberton-class being the ZMS Peletier after Admiral Crade Peletier.

Frigates and Littoral combat ships
Modern frigates and littoral combat ships mainly perform anti-submarine warfare for carrier and expeditionary strike groups and provide armed escort for supply convoys and merchant shipping. They are designed to protect friendly ships against hostile submarines in low to medium threat environments, using torpedoes and helicopters. Independently, frigates are able to conduct counterdrug missions and other maritime interception operations. As in the case of destroyers, frigates are named after Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard heroes, though the flagship of Zamastanian frigates and Littoral combat ships is named after President Avi Taures, and its two support vessels are named the ZMS August Vendetta and the ZMS Redeemer after code names used during the World War.

Mine countermeasures ships
Mine countermeasures vessels are a combination of minehunters, a naval vessel that actively detects and destroys individual naval mines, and minesweepers, which clear mined areas as a whole, without prior detection of the mines. The navy has approximately a dozen of these in active service, but the mine countermeasure (MCM) role is also being assumed by the incoming classes of littoral combat ships. MCM vessels have mostly legacy names of previous Zamastanian Navy ships, especially World War-era minesweepers.
Patrol vessels
A patrol boat is a relatively small naval vessel generally designed for coastal defense duties. There have been many designs for patrol boats, though the navy currently only has a single class - the Tempest-class. They may be operated by a nation's navy or coast guard, and may be intended for marine ("blue water") or estuarine or river ("brown water") environments. The Navy's approximately 65 patrol ships are mainly used in home port patrols and drug interdiction missions. Naming categories vary, but often follow full names of naval heroes.

Submarines
All current and planned Zamastanian Navy submarines are nuclear-powered, as only nuclear propulsion allows for the combination of stealth and long duration, high-speed sustained underwater movement that makes modern nuclear submarines so vital to a modern blue-water navy. The Zamastanian Navy operates three types: ballistic missile submarines, guided missile submarines, and attack submarines. Navy (nuclear) ballistic missile submarines carry the stealthiest leg of the Zamastanian strategic triad (the other legs are the land-based Zamastanian strategic missile force and the air-based Zamastanian strategic bomber force). The primary missions of attack and guided missile submarines in the Navy are peacetime engagement, surveillance and intelligence, special operations, precision strikes, and control of the seas. Submarines in the Zamastanian navy are named after famed admirals and fleet commanders.

Aircraft
Carrier-based aircraft are able to strike air, sea, and land targets far from a carrier strike group while protecting friendly forces from enemy aircraft, ships, and submarines. In peacetime, aircraft's ability to project the threat of sustained attack from a mobile platform on the seas gives United States leaders significant diplomatic and crisis-management options. Aircraft additionally provide logistics support to maintain the navy's readiness and, through helicopters, supply platforms with which to conduct search and rescue, special operations, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), and anti-surface warfare (ASuW).
The Zamastanian Navy began to research the use of aircraft at sea in the 1920s, with Lieutenant Grayson Hedimeri becoming the first naval aviator on 4 January 1921, and commissioned its first aircraft carrier, the ZMS Almighty, in 1926. Zamastanian naval aviation fully came of age in the World War, when it became clear following the firebombing raid of Titania, the Battle of the Strait of Cranes, and the Battle of Novap that aircraft carriers and the planes that they carried had replaced the battleship as the greatest weapon on the seas. Leading navy aircraft in the World War included the Z-4F Wildcat and the Z-6F Hellcat. Navy aircraft also played a significant role in conflicts during the following Cold War years, with the Z-10 Harrier becoming a military icon of the era. The navy's current primary fighter and attack airplanes are the multi-mission Z-14 Osprey fighter jet.
Operations
The Zamastanian Navy has 6 active fleets, each helmed by one nuclear aircraft carrier. The fleets and their regional fields of operation are;
- 1st Fleet - Eastern Olympic Ocean; West Euronia, East Nortua, Northeast Adula
- 2nd Fleet - Adula-Nortua Divide; South Nortua, North Adula
- 3rd Fleet - Eastern Cantalle Ocean; West and North Ausiana, Southern Euronia
- 4th Fleet - Western Cantalle Ocean; South and East Adula, Antartique
- 5th Fleet - North Samson Ocean; East Euronia, West Nortua
- 6th Fleet - South Samson Ocean; East Ausiana, West Adula
Installations
The size, complexity, and international presence of the Zamastanian Navy requires a large number of navy installations to support its operations. While the majority of bases are located inside Zamastan itself, the Navy maintains a significant number of facilities abroad, either in Zamastanian-controlled territories or in foreign countries under a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA).
