Dedicated to the protection of Talahara's coastline, the Navy Corps has a fleet of 26 ships, including 14 major surface combatants. The ships and administrative offices of the Navy Corps are staffed by just over 8,700 personnel. The senior representative of the Navy Corps at the Defense Committee is Admiral Iken Meduran, while Watch Sergeant-Major Yimlul Aderfi holds the enlisted seat. | ||

Renamed to the Talaharan Navy Corps in 1853, it became part of the unified armed forces in 1854 with the inception of the [[Talaharan Army Corps]]. The Navy Corps has taken part in every military engagement involving the United Communes except for the Annexation of Amara in 1919. | ||

While the primary doctrine of the force is to exist as a {{wp|fleet in being}}, Talaharan vessels coordinate closely with the Tyreseian Workers' Naval Fleet, going on manoeuvres and patrols together along the [[Rubric Coast Consortium|Rubric Coast]] and the broader Periclean basin. | ||
==History== | ==History== | ||
During the [[Talaharan | During the [[Talaharan Civil War]], the Anarchist forces did not operate a dedicated navy. Republican vessels were seized on occasion after boarding actions, but would generally proceed to operate as independent vessels in the fashion of [[Talaharan Black Guard Corps|Black Guard]] units at the time. After the conclusion of the war, it became apparent that irregular ships would not be able to effectively guard the United Communes's coasts. Despite this, the creation of a new navy was deadlocked first by the drafting of a [[National Consensus|constitution]] and subsequently by political disagreement over the professionalization of the military. The issue became an electoral one, and with affiliates of the Communal Security salon flooding into the [[National Legislative Council (Talahara)|National Legislative Council]], the Talaharan Navy was officially founded in 1845. | ||
The early Talaharan Navy appropriated the assets of naval Black Guard units and united them under a single fleet command, based in Takalt. The Navy also set about establishing manufacturing and procurement of military-grade vessels and equipment. Despite being professionalized, the early era of the Navy was chaotic. Individual ships maintained a great degree of independence. Crews elected captains and captains elected commodores to command squadrons, but there were effectively no regulations to compel an independent vessel to act in cohesion. | The early Talaharan Navy appropriated the assets of naval Black Guard units and united them under a single fleet command, based in Takalt.

In addition to preparing for the inception of a professional land warfare branch in 1854, the 1853 reorganization of the Talaharan Navy into the Talaharan Navy Corps established the modern hierarchical structure of the branch, something that was anathema to the communalist sensibilities of the political opposition of the day.

A year later, the UCDF was officially introduced with democratic controls over advancement and representation at the new Defense Committee. This compromise between democracy and hierarchy proved to be stable enough for the purposes of the Navy Corps and its political repercussions. | ||
The Navy Corps was initially slow to adopt new technologies. The first successful Talaharan {{wp|Ironclad warship|ironclad-type}} ship was launched in 1879. Despite lacking a formal developmental alliance, growing ties with the now-syndicalist Workers' Federation of Tyreseia provided a major boost to Talahara's shipbuilding and development sectors. Following the Tyreseian naval doctrine, Talahara built two of its own {{wp|armoured cruisers}} and a {{wp|Dreadnought|dreadnought-type}} by 1912. In 1919, Talahara launched its first major offensive action on another nation, seizing the Amara region from south-eastern Yisrael. The Navy Corps did not take part in the operation but remained on standby to counter any reprisal. | The Navy Corps was initially slow to adopt new technologies.

Talaharan naval development stagnated again through the rest of the 1910s and the 1920s. With the formation of the [[Rubric_Coast_Consortium#Development_and_logistics|Joint Development Agreement]] in 1933, Talaharan and Tyreseian design bureaus officially combined resources, though the weight of innovation fell clearly on the Tyreseians. For their part, Talahara remained an important customer and contributed to the testing and evaluation of different designs. With the relatively closed nature of the Periclean Sea, neither Talahara nor Tyreseia developed carrier-based doctrine, continuing to rely on capital ships through the first half of the 20th century. | Talaharan naval development stagnated again through the rest of the 1910s and the 1920s.

The 1951 Liberation of Taršiš was Talahara's first truly combined arms operation. Talaharan troop landings were assisted in large part by air superiority and scouting for landing positions on the relatively demilitarized coastline. Despite this success, it was apparent that Talaharan battleships were rapidly becoming obsolete. | ||

The | The second half of the 20th century saw the Rubric Coast's vessels shrink in size and adapt to missile-based warfare. Tyreseia also launched their first nuclear-powered test vessel. The {{wp|French cruiser Jeanne d'Arc (R97)|''Mass Akli''-class helicopter cruiser}} was Talahara's first foray in naval aviation, and so far the only. The ''Mass Akli'' has been maintained in service and updated over its lifespan, but carries small missile payloads for its size and has an antiquated arrangement of four guns. Battleships and battlecruisers also gave way to the development of destroyers and frigates specializing in anti-air, anti-submarine warfare, and missile weaponry. | ||
The modern Talaharan Navy Corps is the smallest of the three branches, with land and air projection having greater primacy in Talaharan military doctrine. Despite this, the Navy Corps is capable of fulfilling its intended mission of littoral defense, particularly in coordination with the Tyreseian fleet. In recent times, Talahara's naval interests have been frustrated by political crises in Gran Aligonia and heightened tensions with regional rivals. This, in combination with the aging fleet, has led to calls for increased naval development and an expansion of the service. | The modern Talaharan Navy Corps is the smallest of the three branches, with land and air projection having greater primacy in Talaharan military doctrine.

Talaharan vessels may also be based out of Tyreseian bases for extended operations. The Navy Corps Admiralty is officially based aboard the fleet's flagship, the ''Mass Akli''. The ''Mass Akli'' is primarily based out of the Tiɣraman Naval Base in Maktarim. It is rarely sent out on manoeuvres at present but is frequently used as a training ship. In practice, the Admiralty operates out of the offices of the Tiɣraman base. | ||
The Talaharan Navy Corps also has no permanent ship groupings, but doctrinally has formations based around its flagship and patrol missions along the coast and operations across the Periclean basin. Task forces are typically centred on at least one destroyer with further support from frigates and smaller vessels, including corvettes. Auxiliary vessels and smaller surface combatants such as patrol ships are organized into ad hoc groups, typically for patrol missions. The Navy Corps's three submarines are also typically grouped together into a special task squadron but can be broken off into a pair or an individual unit for specific missions. | |||

The Talaharan Navy Corp, (Takelat: Tafekka n Menɣi n Yilel; ⵜⴰⴼⴻⴽⴽⴰ ⵏ ⵎⴻⵏⵖⵉ ⵏ ⵢⵉⵍⴻⵍ), officially the United Communes Defense Forces Navy Corps, is the oldest and smallest branch of the United Communes Defense Forces. Dedicated to the protection of Talahara's coastline, the Navy Corps has a fleet of 26 ships, including 14 major surface combatants. The ships and administrative offices of the Navy Corps are staffed by just over 8,700 personnel. The senior representative of the Navy Corps at the Defense Committee is Admiral Iken Meduran, while Watch Sergeant-Major Yimlul Aderfi holds the enlisted seat.
The Navy Corps was founded in 1845 as the Talaharan Navy; the first professional military body in the United Communes of Talahara. Renamed to the Talaharan Navy Corps in 1853, it became part of the unified armed forces in 1854 with the inception of the Talaharan Army Corps. The Navy Corps has taken part in every military engagement involving the United Communes except for the Annexation of Amara in 1919.
At present, the Navy Corps is a relatively modest force with an aging inventory, though its equipment remains relevant due to modernization efforts. While the primary doctrine of the force is to exist as a fleet in being, Talaharan vessels coordinate closely with the Tyreseian Workers' Naval Fleet, going on manoeuvres and patrols together along the Rubric Coast and the broader Periclean basin.
History
During the Talaharan Civil War, the Anarchist forces did not operate a dedicated navy. Republican vessels were seized on occasion after boarding actions, but would generally proceed to operate as independent vessels in the fashion of Black Guard units at the time. After the conclusion of the war, it became apparent that irregular ships would not be able to effectively guard the United Communes's coasts. Despite this, the creation of a new navy was deadlocked first by the drafting of a constitution and subsequently by political disagreement over the professionalization of the military. The issue became an electoral one, and with affiliates of the Communal Security salon flooding into the National Legislative Council, the Talaharan Navy was officially founded in 1845.
The early Talaharan Navy appropriated the assets of naval Black Guard units and united them under a single fleet command, based in Takalt. The Navy also set about establishing manufacturing and procurement of military-grade vessels and equipment. Despite being professionalized, the early era of the Navy was chaotic. Individual ships maintained a great degree of independence. Crews elected captains and captains elected commodores to command squadrons, but there were effectively no regulations to compel an independent vessel to act in cohesion.
In addition to preparing for the inception of a professional land warfare branch in 1854, the 1853 reorganization of the Talaharan Navy into the Talaharan Navy Corps established the modern hierarchical structure of the branch, something that was anathema to the communalist sensibilities of the political opposition of the day. A year later, the UCDF was officially introduced with democratic controls over advancement and representation at the new Defense Committee. This compromise between democracy and hierarchy proved to be stable enough for the purposes of the Navy Corps and its political repercussions.
The Navy Corps was initially slow to adopt new technologies. The first successful Talaharan ironclad-type ship was launched in 1879. Despite lacking a formal developmental alliance, growing ties with the now-syndicalist Workers' Federation of Tyreseia provided a major boost to Talahara's shipbuilding and development sectors. Following the Tyreseian naval doctrine, Talahara built two of its own armoured cruisers and a dreadnought-type by 1912. In 1919, Talahara launched its first major offensive action on another nation, seizing the Amara region from south-eastern Yisrael. The Navy Corps did not take part in the operation but remained on standby to counter any reprisal.
Talaharan naval development stagnated again through the rest of the 1910s and the 1920s. With the formation of the Joint Development Agreement in 1933, Talaharan and Tyreseian design bureaus officially combined resources, though the weight of innovation fell clearly on the Tyreseians. For their part, Talahara remained an important customer and contributed to the testing and evaluation of different designs. With the relatively closed nature of the Periclean Sea, neither Talahara nor Tyreseia developed carrier-based doctrine, continuing to rely on capital ships through the first half of the 20th century.
The Social War, in which Tyreseia covertly donated a cruiser and sent volunteers, provided lessons on how warfare had changed and the necessity of airpower to complement naval engagements. The 1951 Liberation of Taršiš was Talahara's first truly combined arms operation. Talaharan troop landings were assisted in large part by air superiority and scouting for landing positions on the relatively demilitarized coastline. Despite this success, it was apparent that Talaharan battleships were rapidly becoming obsolete.
The second half of the 20th century saw the Rubric Coast's vessels shrink in size and adapt to missile-based warfare. Tyreseia also launched their first nuclear-powered test vessel. The Mass Akli-class helicopter cruiser was Talahara's first foray in naval aviation, and so far the only. The Mass Akli has been maintained in service and updated over its lifespan, but carries small missile payloads for its size and has an antiquated arrangement of four guns. Battleships and battlecruisers also gave way to the development of destroyers and frigates specializing in anti-air, anti-submarine warfare, and missile weaponry.
The modern Talaharan Navy Corps is the smallest of the three branches, with land and air projection having greater primacy in Talaharan military doctrine. Despite this, the Navy Corps is capable of fulfilling its intended mission of littoral defense, particularly in coordination with the Tyreseian fleet. In recent times, Talahara's naval interests have been frustrated by political crises in Gran Aligonia and heightened tensions with regional rivals. This, in combination with the aging fleet, has led to calls for increased naval development and an expansion of the service.
Structure and organization
Talaharan vessels are based out of three naval bases on Talahara's coastline; Maktarim, New Rušadar, and Munaxdri. Talaharan vessels may also be based out of Tyreseian bases for extended operations. The Navy Corps Admiralty is officially based aboard the fleet's flagship, the Mass Akli. The Mass Akli is primarily based out of the Tiɣraman Naval Base in Maktarim. It is rarely sent out on manoeuvres at present but is frequently used as a training ship. In practice, the Admiralty operates out of the offices of the Tiɣraman base.
The Talaharan Navy Corps also has no permanent ship groupings, but doctrinally has formations based around its flagship and patrol missions along the coast and operations across the Periclean basin. Task forces are typically centred on at least one destroyer with further support from frigates and smaller vessels, including corvettes. Auxiliary vessels and smaller surface combatants such as patrol ships are organized into ad hoc groups, typically for patrol missions. The Navy Corps's three submarines are also typically grouped together into a special task squadron but can be broken off into a pair or an individual unit for specific missions.
