==== Home Fleet ====
==== Home Fleet ====


The Home Fleet is a major operational command of the Royal Navy, responsible for providing an Apilonian naval presence in great waters that are immediately adjacent to the territorial waters of the Kingdom (which are themselves under the jurisdiction of Naval Home Command, thereby providing a top-level strategic naval capability. As such, the Home Fleet’s primary area of operations is in the Pacific Ocean, where the Royal Navy’s operational doctrine calls for strategic dominance, and to a lesser extent the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Oceans. As a result of these two geographically separate areas of operations, the Home Fleet is split into a Pacific Division and an Atlantic Division. Although it is the Home Fleet’s primary responsibility to ensure strategic dominance over the Pacific (and the Atlantic, alongside allies), it also serves as the de facto strategic reserve for the rest of the Royal Navy’s global operations, given that it is the single largest collection of Apilonian warships, and it is not unusual for ships from the Home Fleet to be temporarily deployed globally in support of defence missions.
==== Pacific Fleet ====
 
The Pacific Fleet is, without a doubt, the most prestigious and most important seagoing commands in the Royal Navy, due to the absolute premium placed by the Admiralty on ensuring Apilonian naval dominance of the Pacific.
 
The Flag Officer, Eastern Pacific, is responsible for approximately fifty million square miles of the eastern and northern Pacific Ocean, including the Bering Sea, Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, and a sector of the Arctic. The major oil and trade sea lanes of communication within this area are vitally important to the economic health of the Kingdom, and the Flag Officer, Eastern Pacific, is charged with ensuring an ubiquitous Apilonian naval presence across this region to fulfil a conflict deterrence mission, as well as to conduct prompt and sustained combat operations at sea. In general, the Flag Officer, Eastern Pacific.
 
The Flag Officer, Western Pacific, is responsible for the many millions of square miles of the western and southern Pacific Ocean, including New Zealand, the Philippine Sea, and associated waters. Although the Kingdom has less direct interests in this part of the Pacific, the Admiralty is still eager to ensure a major Apilonian naval presence across the region, and as such the Flag Officer, Western Pacific, is charged with achieving this. In general, the Flag Officer, Western Pacific, will have between fifty and sixty warships as an establishment, including at least one aircraft carrier battle group.

'''Pacific Division'''
'''Western Pacific Station (Flag Officer, Western Pacific)'''


The Pacific Division is a major command of the Royal Navy, and a key component of Apilonian naval dominance in the Pacific Ocean, and a subordinate command of the Home Fleet. The Pacific Division is responsible for over fifty million square miles of the eastern and northern Pacific Ocean, with a capability to deploy forces further west as required. As such, the Pacific Division is responsible for a vast span of ocean from both a strategic, that is ensuring naval dominance against a concerted attack, and a tactical, that is actively protecting Apilonian merchant shipping and other interests from specific attacks, perspective. At any given time, the Pacific Division will command one of the three available carrier battle groups, as well as assorted cruisers and destroyers as well as frigates, patrol vessels, and other minor war vessels, submarines, and auxiliaries, with all but the carrier battle group having a scalable establishment. The Pacific Division is split into two subordinate seagoing commands, which are responsible for a geo-graphic sub-division and all vessels operating within it; Flag Officer North Pacific, and Flag Officer South Pacific, both of whom hold the rank of Rear Admiral. The Commander, Pacific Division, typically holds the rank of Vice Admiral and has a shore headquarters at HM Naval Station Monterey, in the Duchy of California and has the following subordinate commands:

The Atlantic Division is a major command of the Royal Navy, and a key component of maintaining Apilonian maritime security interests in the Atlantic Ocean, albeit working closely with allied nations, most notably with the Empire of Layarteb, in contrast to the Pacific Division which is required to maintain strategic dominance independently. The Atlantic Division is responsible for over seven million square miles of the Atlantic Ocean, from the North Pole to the Antarctic, however it generally has a far smaller establishment due to the fact that the Admiralty has long accepted Layartebian naval dominance in the Atlantic as a strategic reality, and given that the Empire of Layarteb is a close ally of the Kingdom, there is little need to contest this dominance. As a result, although the Atlantic Division will command one of three carrier battle groups, as well as a small number of assorted cruisers and destroyers, as well as frigates, patrol vessels, and other minor war vessels, submarines, and auxiliaries, these are generally in far smaller numbers than those in the Pacific Division as many of their number are operationally re-deployed. The Atlantic Division is split into two subordinate seagoing commands, which are responsible for a geo-graphic sub-division and all vessels operating within it; Flag Officer North Atlantic, and Flag Officer South Atlantic, both of whom hold the rank of Rear Admiral. The Commander, Pacific Division, typically holds the rank of Vice Admiral and has a shore headquarters at HM Naval Station New Orleans, in the Duchy of New France.
==== Atlantic Fleet ====


*'''Atlantic Carrier Group'''<br>
The Atlantic Fleet is an operational command of the Royal Navy, responsible for the Atlantic Ocean, and all of its associated seas and waterways. Although the Atlantic Fleet has an area of responsibility for millions of square miles, and as such is split into two subordinate commands, the Admiralty has come to the determination that it is more practical to accept Layartebian dominance of the Atlantic Ocean, in favour of concentrating resources in the Pacific where the Kingdom not only has far more interests but is much better situated to ensure its own dominance. Nevertheless, as the Atlantic Fleet is responsible for protecting the sea lanes of communication in the theatre, both Flag Officer, North Atlantic, based out of TBC, and Flag Officer, South Atlantic, based out of HM Dockyard Simonstown, have small peacetime establishments of one cruiser, two older (Type-43) destroyers, two frigates, and two fleet submarines apiece.

==== Strike Force ====
*HMS ''TBC'', ''Astute''-Class Fleet Submarine
*HMS ''TBC'', ''Astute''-Class Fleet Submarine


The Strike Force is a major command of the Royal Navy, responsible for providing a wide range of maritime operations for Naval and Defence Commanders in the event of a major crisis overseas. Unlike the Home Fleet, and the various Fleet Stations, which are responsible for a specific geographic theatre, the Strike Force is responsible for providing operational options all over the world, particularly in areas outside the scope of a geographic command. It is therefore not surprising that the Commander, Strike Force (COMSTRIKE) is a highly sought-after post within the Royal Navy. At any given time, the Strike Force maintains a Carrier Strike Group, a Surface Action Group, and a Amphibious Task Group, which are responsible, together and independently, for providing operational strike capability at the direction of the Admiralty. All units within the Strike Force are kept at very-high readiness (capable of getting underway in less than seventy-two hours), whilst many are underway on contingency or presence operations which are the primary operational use of the Strike Force outside of a crisis situation.
'''Flag Officer, South Atlantic'''


The Strike Force is led by the Commander, Strike Force, typically a Vice Admiral who is the senior seagoing commander within the Royal Navy, with a headquarters at HM Naval Station Alcatraz, alongside Permanent Joint Headquarters (PJHQ), in the Duchy of California.

*HMS ''Glendale'', Type-23 Guided Missile Frigate


'''Carrier Strike Group'''
*HMS ''TBC'', ''Astute''-Class Fleet Submarine
*HMS ''TBC'', ''Astute''-Class Fleet Submarine


The Carrier Strike Group is a major seagoing command of the Royal Navy and is the primary formation responsible for providing Carrier Strike capabilities all over the world. Although the Admiralty aims to have three King William-Class aircraft carriers operationally available at any given time, two of those are assigned to the Home Fleet (one in the Pacific and one in the Atlantic) and are largely concerned with a strategic role opposing hostile carrier groups, leaving only one available for Contingency Operations. As such, the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) is a high-tempo command, typically with longer deployments and fewer shore visits than other commands, as it is largely used as the Admiralty’s trouble-shooter. Although not geographically assigned to the theatre, a purely pragmatic consideration results in the Carrier Strike Group typically conducting contingency or presence patrols in the Indian Ocean when not otherwise required.
==== Mediterranean Fleet ====


The Strike Group is led by the Commander, Carrier Strike Group, typically a Rear Admiral. As of 2020, the Carrier Strike Group consists of:
The Mediterranean Fleet is a major operational command of the Royal Navy, responsible for the Mediterranean Sea, and all of its associated seas and waterways, the second most prestigious seagoing command after the Pacific Fleet due to the fact that it defends the vital sea lanes of communication and trade between the various coasts of the Kingdom, its colonies, and its allies and other trade partners. The Mediterranean Fleet maintains a retively small peacetime establishment, although it is a common deployment area for at least one carrier battle group, primarily due to the presence of allied (and now Commonwealth) fleets in the theatre, with a heavy focus on patrol vessels and mine hunters, as well as a sizeable establishment of diesel-electric attack submarines. Usually, one warship from the Fleet will be assigned as the Malta Guardship, typically a frigate.

*HMS ''Little Rock'', Type-23 Guided Missile Frigate
*HMS ''Springfield'', Type-23 Guided Missile Frigate
*HMS ''Bellevue'', Type-23 Guided Missile Frigate


The Surface Action Group is a major seagoing command of the Royal Navy and is responsible for providing a small, but powerful and cohesive strike force capable of both engaging enemy surface forces or launching strikes against targets ashore. The Surface Action Group is centred a Warspite-Class fast battleship, supported by an escort group consisting of a cruiser, destroyers and frigates; of which at least one (of four) is available at any given time. The Surface Action Group is a high-tempo command, however the aging battleships do cause some maintenance issues which is the main reason why only one of four is operationally deployed, with one in reserve in case issues take the operational battleship out of service, with two in refit or major maintenance. Although not geographically assigned to the theatre, a purely pragmatic consideration results in the Surface Action Group typically conducting contingency or presence patrols in the Mediterranean Sea when not otherwise required, due to the presence of Apilonian air bases on Malta and in the Archduchy of Austria.

'''Amphibious Task Group'''
==== Eastern Fleet ====


The Amphibious Task Group is a major seagoing command of the Royal Navy and is responsible for providing the bulk of Apilonia’s amphibious assault capability. The Amphibious Task Group is responsible for providing the Royal Navy with the bulk of its amphibious capability; capable of deploying an entire Commando Brigade from one Pacific-Class landing helicopter dock and three San Antonio-Class landing platform docks. Although the Amphibious Task Group is intended to be used as one cohesive unit, to put a brigade ashore to secure ports of entry for follow-on forces, individual ships from the Task Group can be detached as required. The Amphibious Task Group is led by the Commander, Amphibious Task Group, typically a Rear Admiral. As of 2020, the Amphibious Task Group consist of:
The Eastern Fleet is a major operational command of the Royal Navy, responsible for the Indian Ocean, and all of it’s associated seas and waterways. It is the third most prestigious seagoing command after the Pacific Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet, due to the fact that it defends the vital sea lanes of communication and trade between the various coasts of the Kingdom, and its colonies and other trade partners in the region. The Eastern Fleet maintains a relatively small peacetime establishment, although it is a common deployment area for at least one carrier battlegroup, primarily due to the presence of allied (and now Commonwealth) fleets in the theatre. Due to the size of the theatre, and the different demands of the different areas, the Fleet is split into two subordinate regional commanders; the Flag Officer, Persian Gulf, and the Flag Officer, Indian Ocean.

The Mediterranean Station is a major command and fleet station of the Royal Navy and is responsible for the command of all Apilonian naval activity in the Mediterranean Sea. As a result, the Mediterranean Station is responsible for both the direct maritime security of the Crown Colony of Malta, and more recently the Archduchy of Austria, as well as for protecting Apilonian and allied merchant shipping passing through the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Station is also responsible for liaising with neutral and friendly partners in the region with regard to the overall maritime secure posture of the region. The Commander, Mediterranean Station, is typically a Vice Admiral, with a headquarters at HMS St. Angelo on the Crown Colony of Malta.

The Royal Navy (RN) is the maritime warfare branch of His Majesty’s Armed Forces, and the principal component of His Majesty’s Naval Service, a constituent part of the Ministry of Defence of the Kingdom of Apilonia. The Royal Navy maintains a large fleet of sophisticated warships, submarines, and aircraft, including ten aircraft carriers, four guided missile battleships, TBC amphibious warfare vessels and dozens of cruisers, escorts, and patrol vessels. In addition to the commissioned warships of the Royal Navy, the fleet is also augmented by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, a substantial force multiplier that supports and replenishes the fleet at sea all over the globe. The professional head of the Royal Navy, and the broader naval service, is the First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff, an Admiral and member of the Defence Council, whilst wider management of the Naval Service is managed by the Board of Admiralty, which is made up of the various Sea Lords and various other offices and divisions under them which make up a structure collectively known as the Admiralty.

The Royal Navy has always enjoyed a prominent position within the Kingdom, being formed shortly after the Kingdom’s founding to protect the rapidly developing Merchant Navy, given that the trade links back to Europe formed a critical part of the fledgling state’s economy. The early role as a force primarily concerned with commerce protection culminated in the Battle of the Gulf in 1672 in which HMS Vigilant, under the command of Captain Sir Edward Covington famously fought off a far superior enemy force to protect Apilonian merchantmen and setting a lasting tradition. Ever since, the Royal Navy has consistently enjoyed a substantial budget throughout most of its existence, due to the prominent position in the mindset of the Apilonian people, and was consistently one of the largest and most powerful navy, with particular predominance in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, including associated waters. As such, due to its historical and lasting prominence it is common to refer to it as ‘the Royal Navy’ without qualification.

With an active-duty strength of 462,700 officers and ratings, and a reserve component of 55,300 officers and ratings, with an additional 111,400 officer and ratings making up the individual ready reserve, liable to call-up in times of war. The Royal Fleet Auxiliary has an active-duty strength of 25,620 officers and ratings.

Naval Home Command

The Naval Home Command is a major operational command of the Royal Navy, responsible for all operational shore establishments and ships operating within the territorial and exclusive economic zone of the Kingdom. The Naval Home Command is split into four Naval Districts, each of which is responsible for the ship’s home ported in the naval bases within the district as well as for all operations within a defined section of territorial and exclusive economic waters. In addition, His Majesty’s Submarine Service, an independent command under the Naval Home Command, falls under the administrative control of the Naval Home Command, as does the Fleet Air Arm, although both deploy it’s forces operationally to Fleet Operations Command. The Naval Home Command is led by the Flag Officer, Naval Home Command, currently Admiral TO BE CONFIRMED.

Within home waters, the Naval Districts are responsible for patrolling the exclusive economic zone and enforcing Apilonian rights in this regard, whilst the servicing of aids to navigation and search and rescue is the purview of His Majesty’s Coastguard.

Aside from commanding all naval operations in home waters, the Naval Home Command is responsible for providing ships for operational deployments to seagoing commands

Fleet Operations Command

Home Fleet

Pacific Fleet

The Pacific Fleet is, without a doubt, the most prestigious and most important seagoing commands in the Royal Navy, due to the absolute premium placed by the Admiralty on ensuring Apilonian naval dominance of the Pacific.

The Flag Officer, Eastern Pacific, is responsible for approximately fifty million square miles of the eastern and northern Pacific Ocean, including the Bering Sea, Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, and a sector of the Arctic. The major oil and trade sea lanes of communication within this area are vitally important to the economic health of the Kingdom, and the Flag Officer, Eastern Pacific, is charged with ensuring an ubiquitous Apilonian naval presence across this region to fulfil a conflict deterrence mission, as well as to conduct prompt and sustained combat operations at sea. In general, the Flag Officer, Eastern Pacific.

The Flag Officer, Western Pacific, is responsible for the many millions of square miles of the western and southern Pacific Ocean, including New Zealand, the Philippine Sea, and associated waters. Although the Kingdom has less direct interests in this part of the Pacific, the Admiralty is still eager to ensure a major Apilonian naval presence across the region, and as such the Flag Officer, Western Pacific, is charged with achieving this. In general, the Flag Officer, Western Pacific, will have between fifty and sixty warships as an establishment, including at least one aircraft carrier battle group.

Atlantic Fleet

The Atlantic Fleet is an operational command of the Royal Navy, responsible for the Atlantic Ocean, and all of its associated seas and waterways. Although the Atlantic Fleet has an area of responsibility for millions of square miles, and as such is split into two subordinate commands, the Admiralty has come to the determination that it is more practical to accept Layartebian dominance of the Atlantic Ocean, in favour of concentrating resources in the Pacific where the Kingdom not only has far more interests but is much better situated to ensure its own dominance. Nevertheless, as the Atlantic Fleet is responsible for protecting the sea lanes of communication in the theatre, both Flag Officer, North Atlantic, based out of TBC, and Flag Officer, South Atlantic, based out of HM Dockyard Simonstown, have small peacetime establishments of one cruiser, two older (Type-43) destroyers, two frigates, and two fleet submarines apiece.

  • HMS TBC, Astute-Class Fleet Submarine

Mediterranean Fleet

The Mediterranean Fleet is a major operational command of the Royal Navy, responsible for the Mediterranean Sea, and all of its associated seas and waterways, the second most prestigious seagoing command after the Pacific Fleet due to the fact that it defends the vital sea lanes of communication and trade between the various coasts of the Kingdom, its colonies, and its allies and other trade partners. The Mediterranean Fleet maintains a retively small peacetime establishment, although it is a common deployment area for at least one carrier battle group, primarily due to the presence of allied (and now Commonwealth) fleets in the theatre, with a heavy focus on patrol vessels and mine hunters, as well as a sizeable establishment of diesel-electric attack submarines. Usually, one warship from the Fleet will be assigned as the Malta Guardship, typically a frigate.

Eastern Fleet

The Eastern Fleet is a major operational command of the Royal Navy, responsible for the Indian Ocean, and all of it’s associated seas and waterways. It is the third most prestigious seagoing command after the Pacific Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet, due to the fact that it defends the vital sea lanes of communication and trade between the various coasts of the Kingdom, and its colonies and other trade partners in the region. The Eastern Fleet maintains a relatively small peacetime establishment, although it is a common deployment area for at least one carrier battlegroup, primarily due to the presence of allied (and now Commonwealth) fleets in the theatre. Due to the size of the theatre, and the different demands of the different areas, the Fleet is split into two subordinate regional commanders; the Flag Officer, Persian Gulf, and the Flag Officer, Indian Ocean.
