The '''United States of the Tao Navy''', '''USTN''', also referred to as the '''Taoist Navy''', is the worldwide maritime warfare branch of the [[UST Armed Forces|United States of the Tao Armed Forces]], tasked with {{wp|naval warfare}}, {{wp|power projection|global power projection}}, and assisting in overseas and domestic {{wp|Humanitarian aid|humanitarian efforts}} for the [[UST]]. It is the only Navy of the UST, though it is not the only branch which deals with naval warfare, the [[UST Coast Guard|United States of the Tao Coast Guard]] is a branch which also operates capital ships (though small ones), but focuses more on naval defense, and humanitarian/rescue efforts than the USTN which focuses more on offensive power, and power projection.

While the USTN was established in only 1948, the Tao has one of the oldest cultures in Sunalaya and has a rich naval history. While they couldn't hold up to western designs, Taoist ships from the 14th-17th centuries are widely considered to be very well designed and well built for their time; this is often thought to be because of the concept of "Kami no Umi" or "Divine Sea" which suggests that, if one wants to sail on the seas they should take care to use a vessel of quality and art; it is often thought that this mindset is what has historically inspired a concept of quality over quantity in the previous Taoist Navies.

After achieving liberation through the [[War of Taoist Independence]], the Tao's first constitution established it as a {{wp|republic}}, becoming the [[Republic of the Tao]]; which had the [[Republic of the Tao Navy]] (RTN) as its primary naval force. In 1927, however, {{wp|Emperor}} [[Takehiko]] passed away, and his son, {{wp|Emperor}} [[Shou]] ascended to the throne and began implementing his fascist policies in the government, leading to the establishment of the [[Empire of the Tao]] and the [[Republic of the Tao Navy]] being reformed into the [[Imperial Taoist Navy]] (ITN). Having sided with the [[Core Powers]] in [[Sunalayan World War II|World War II]], the [[Empire of the Tao]] unconditionally surrendered to the [[Dronden Pact]] and on February 1, 1946, the Empire was officially dismantled, along with the [[Imperial Taoist Navy|ITN]].

Fallowing [[Second Great War (Sunalaya)|World War II]] many within the [[Dronden Pact]] wanted to see the Tao without an established military and be controlled, or heavily influenced by a foreign power. Some of the occupiers of the Tao inside the [[Droden pact]], namely [[Rhodevus]], held a firm position against this, however. Ultimately with the help [[Rhodevus]], the [[United States of the Tao]] (UST) was created, along with it come the [[UST Navy|United States of the Tao Navy]].

Despite the fact that some within the [[Dronden Pact]] wanted to see the Tao without an established military and be run by a foreign power. Some of the occupiers of the Tao inside the [[Droden pact]], namely [[Aznazia]], held a firm position against this, however. Ultimately with the help of [[Aznazia]] and [[Rhodevus]], the [[United States of the Tao]] (UST) was created, along with it come the [[UST Navy|United States of the Tao Navy]].
On May 16, 2019, the UST, along with the USTN was dissolved by [[Sora Miroyu]], and was immediately replaced with the Empire of the Tao, along with the Imperial Taoist Navy, respectively.
 
===Recent History===
On August 7, 2017, the [[Taoist Armed Forces]], under the {{wp|Tao Nationalist Party|nationalist government}}, was wanting to test a ship-launched {{wp|Electromagnetic pulse|EMP device}}. The USTN offered to mount the device to the [[TNS Diketa]] for testing. The device was tested just 400 miles off the coast of [[Sunrisia]], who had been heavily protesting the actions of the Nationalist government in the Tao at the time. Testing proved to be "beyond satisfactory" as the device was estimated to be capable of wiping out electronics within a 20mile radius. The EMP testing was a major controversial event, both then and now.
 
On January 18, 2017, the USTN sent 2 squadrons towards Capsland at threat level 5, to be prepared to render assistance to Capsland should war break out, but they were recalled 19 days later by new {{wp|Prime Minister|Prime Chancellor}}, [[Sora Miroyu]].

The Imperial Taoist Navy, ITN, commonly referred to as the Taoist Navy, is the worldwide maritime warfare branch of the Empire of the Tao Armed Forces, tasked with naval warfare, global power projection, and assisting in overseas and domestic humanitarian efforts for the Empire of the Tao. It is the only Navy of the Empire of the Tao, though it is not the only branch which deals with naval warfare, as the Imperial Taoist Coast Guard is a branch which also operates capital ships (though small ones), but focuses more on naval defense, and humanitarian/rescue efforts than the ITN which focuses more on offensive power, and power projection.
