Federation Naval facilities on mainland Belfras as of 2016

The Chief of the Admiralty is Ioannis Apostolakis who is a commissioned officer within the Federation Navy unlike his predecessor Phillippos Krekangos who was a civilian put into the position by the Secretary of Defence. As of 2015 the Navy has an active strength of XX military personnel and XX civilian staff. The Navy is organised into five operational branches:

• The Surface Action Command comprises the surface asset fleets of the Navy.
• The Submarine Force is the command structure to manage all sub-surface assets such as the Chanson-class submarine and typically operates them in squadrons under surface fleets.
• The Maritime Aviation Command manages land and sea-based aircraft, including the training and administrative organisation of aviation-focused personnel.
• The Federation Marines are a light infantry organisation dedicated to operating from surface and sub-surface vessels operated by the Navy and are subsequently operated as a branch of the Navy.

Naval bases

As of 2015, the major naval bases of the Federation are divided into two categories: Naval Stations (NS) and Naval Air Stations (NAS). Whilst most Naval Stations have an air station built in close proximity, some Naval Air Stations are built away from naval stations to provide a complete coverage of the country's coast.

The main Naval Stations of the Federation Navy are: Leander, Apostolis, and Miaoulis. Each station has their own Naval Air Station built on. Naval Station Thessalona is significantly smaller than the other stations and is where the Fleet Headquarters is located.

Naval Air Stations that are separated from Naval Stations are: Proponos, Krokarta, and Eurydice. They do not have facilities for naval ships to be berthed with some being located further in-land than on the coast.

Joint Forces Base Tiberius, which opened in 1985, is a base in which the Navy operates from along with allied nations' vessels either visiting the country or being stationed for an extended deployment means. From 1990-2003 the base also was home to special forces groups which eventually was split up around the Naval Stations of the country.

Personnel

The Federation Navy has just over XX personnel, with XXXX of those in ready reserve. Of those on active duty, more than eighty percent are enlisted Ratings.

Sailors prove they have mastered skills, their specialization tasks, and deserve greater responsibilities by completing the Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS) tasks and examinations. Many of these PQS qualifications are displayed on the sailor's uniform with badges and insignia.

Uniforms and Appearance

Uniforms of the Federation Navy are designed to function within the parameters of the original orders dispatched from the Navy shortly after it's founding. "To combine professionalism and heritage with versatility, comfort, survivability and utility." The Navy currently utilises several styles of uniforms for specific uses or occasions, in most cases distinctions are evident on the uniforms to distinguish officers and enlisted personnel. The Navy's uniforms can be divided into four categories which are staggered in formality; Mess dress, Dress uniforms, duty uniforms, and working uniforms. Dress uniforms come in white and black versions which are dependant on orders, with the white being worn by standard but the black opted for wear by commanders in the winter or whilst on formal non-mess dress warranted duties. A basic description of the uniforms follows:

• Mess Dress uniforms are worn on the most formal of occasions and are subsequently seldom seen in usage. High profile weddings or state visits tends to be two of the things that brings the Mess Dress into usage.

• Dress uniforms are worn during military-related formal occasions, such as ceremonies, official functions, and other formal occasions. Many types of dress uniforms are in service with the Federation Navy for many different kinds of requirements needed. Service dress is the least formal uniform, full dress being one step higher and mess dress being the most formal dress available.

• Service uniforms are designed for daily wear and are most often worn in office, base, or classroom type settings along with occasions in which physical activity is at a minimum.

• Duty Dress is considered a dress-down version of the service uniform, with a short-sleeve dress shirt still giving a smart, formal appearance.

• Working uniforms prioritize comfort and safety and thus are the most utilitarian of the Federation Naval uniform selections. They are intended for use aboard ships or in occasions that involve dirty, physical labor.

The grooming standards for both genders within the Navy are regulated to a high degree with exacting standards in regards to hair, facial hair, the usage of cosmetics and jewellery. New entrants to the Navy undergo a 'Standardisation Grooming'; Male entrants receive a buzz-cut and women are given the option of a buzz-cut or a shoulder-length trim which is then required to be inside a bun at all times. Hair shorter than shoulder length for women is acceptable, but must be tidy. Following their initial buzz-cut, male entrants are forbidden to have their hair beyond four inches whilst within the service whilst women are forbidden from hair that get's to a length that means it is unable to be stored in a tight bun that will fit a ship-board or service hat. While men are forbidden from wearing jewellery, women are allowed a standardised silver pin earrings and 'light' cosmetics that do not break a set standard they will be trained in within the service. Multi-colored or uneven-cut hair, body piercings or tattooes in areas visible whilst wearing a short-sleeve shirt are forbidden and breaching the tattoo ruling is grounds for removal from service.

The uniforms of the Navy are as below:

Mess Dress is the Navy's most prestigious uniform and is reserved for the most formal of events. The uniform is white-on-white with minor details differentiating enlisted and ratings. Enlisted personnel have silver buttons and silver linings on their trousers along with the standard enlisted service hats. Officers exchange the silver items for gold with further gold featuring on their jackets, lapels and their ranks showing on their sleeves whereas enlisted personnel do not wear their ranks. They are seen in events such as military balls, galas, graduation ceermonies or state visits.

The uniform is a white dress shirt accompanied by a white formal waistcoat that is unbuttoned and white trousers adorned with the enlisted/officer differentiating colours. Admiralty members wear a gold sash that denotes their admiralty position and in events that pertain to a ship in particular, such as naming ceremonies or changing-of-the-command dinners the captain will wear a sash as well. Officers and senior enlisted personnel who have been granted a ceremonial sword are able to wear it with this uniform.

The Service Dress of the Navy comes in two versions, 'Dress White' and 'Dress Black'. Dress White is the standard uniform and is worn when a working uniform would be considered to informal. Both dress' have a short-sleeve variant for extremely hot climates, which is a white or black short-sleeve dress shirt with a matching tie. The jacket of the service dress is secured with buttons which are hidden with Velcro stripes that are adorned with a gold finish for officers and silver finish for enlisted. The jacket also features two pockets which again are secured with a gold button for officers and silver for enlisted. Unlike Mess Dress, officers are not allowed to wear sword unless specifically told for events.

Dress Whites are, as the name suggests, completely white in appearance. The collar is raised which gives a tidier look. The rank epaulette is black with a gold fastener button which has gold rank markings stitched in and secured with a wrap-around see-through dirt protector that is sealed on installation. Admiralty members have the typical dark red markings added to the epaulette. Enlisted personnel do not have an epaulette on the uniform, instead having their rank patch added to the arms of their uniform like their working uniforms. Officers finally have their ranks repeated on their sleeves. Dress Black's are similar to White's in design, but with the collar down and are the polar opposite in colour for an all black appearance. Warrant Officers are an enlisted-level rank that is an exception to the above dress codes, as they wear epaulettes with their warrant officer rank attached.

The duty uniform is considered a less formal version of the dress whites/blacks, allowing the wearer to wear an easy-breathing dress shirt with their pins and name-tag whilst still looking smart and formal. The dress uniform is worn most typically while anchored and on shore conducting duties in which you would not be required to conduct manual labour or otherwise. The Duty White uniform wears the white trousers, shoes and belt of the Service Dress White with a short-sleeve, tie-less dress shirt that is also white. Buttons and buckles are gold for officers and silver for enlisted personnel.

The working uniforms of the Federation Navy operate in a utilitarian role; They are dark blue with darker shades other hard-wear areas and on the epaulettes which all ranks have, even if they are blank. The rank patches for officers are on the epaulettes only and enlisted personnel have their ranks on their shoulder below the end markings of the epaulette area. The shirts are worn un-tucked with sleeves rolled up at a three-finger width just above the elbow or a set distance below the enlisted-area rank spot. The shirt has two pockets slanted away from their closest arms for ease-of-access when wearing or not wearing Federation Navy body armour.

The shirt is equipped with a zipper and a Velcro patch to cover the zipper when applied. A fabric-and-plastic belt buckle is worn to keep the shirt tidy and flush with the body. The trousers of the working uniform is likewise in colour, is equipped with a front zipper, two pockets and two cargo pockets. The boots of the uniform are tightened with a buckle strap and are hardened against falling objects and have an expanding cuff to tuck the trousers in. A white thin undershirt with 'NAVY' printed on the back in gold is worn under the main shirt of the uniform which is red for admiralty members.

The shirts of the working uniform comes with four stitch/attach spots for personnel-individual items. On the left side of the shirt are two spots stacked vertically, the top is for the persons speciality badge which is gold for officers and silver for enlisted as typical. Below is the identifier 'FEDERATION NAVY', likewise gold for officers and silver for enlisted. The colour difference is seen on the right side of the shirt, on the bottom of the vertical patches is the person's name and above is reserved for command officers. A silver star is reserved for the Executive Officer of a ship which is gold for the Commanding Officer. Other pins for executive or commanding positions are also present.

The working uniform is also meant to be worn with additions as well. Command members, such as station chief's, the XO/CO, or senior CIC/Bridge staff wear radios for constant communications that is independent of the ships communication systems in the event of them breaking down in combat. A cap, with gold and silver trims for officers/enlisted members is allowed to be worn by all members with the only limit preventing it from being worn whilst indoors or inside their ship/submarine. Security personnel or Naval Military Police members wear a utility harness that equips their radio, handcuffs and other equipment they need which is white is worn over the shirt and loops through the epaulettes.

The belt also holds a white baton and a side-arm which can be held on the belt or in a drop-holster. The drop-holster is also seen on the XO and CO when applicable as a security measure. A black kevlar vest with 'FEDERATION NAVY' on the front in white is available to be worn in combat situations and features attachment points for magazine pouches as needed. A black helmet also matches the vest for situations needing it.

In battle situations, crew members will don fire proof gloves and a cowl that covers their face to prevent burn injuries that fits in the shirt which is then folded down into a long-sleeve shirt. They are also outfitted with a colour-matching heat-resistant hard hat to protect against any potential falling debris and falling over in the event that the ship takes damage. Damage control teams follow on from this with oxygen kits and fire-fighting gear.

People in environments where stains or other staining products are often present, such as an engineering area, are allowed to wear a dark blue jump-suit that has slip-slots for names. The suit is one-piece and is equipped with inflammable properties to help protect the wearer against any fires they may come across. It can be air tight to allow the wearer to don air-sealing gloves, boot-cuffs and an oxygen mask to become a sealed environmental suit.

Commissioned Officers

Commissioned Officers within the Federation Navy have paygrades ranging from NO-1 to NO-11; those with paygrades between NO-1 and NO-4 are considered 'junior officers' and NO-5 to NO-6 are considered 'senior officers'. A special pay-grade, NO-5+1 or 'Fleet captain' exists for the commanding officer of the fleet's flagship. Paygrades from NO-7 and onwards are considered 'Flag Officers' and members of the Admiralty. NO-11, or Chief of the Admiralty, is a special position awarded to senior members of the admiralty and is the overall commanding officer of the navy. The current Chief of the Admiralty, Nathan Walker, served as Chief of Operations for ten years prior to promotion. The position of Chief of the Admiralty and Fleet Admiral coincide and go back to the days in which the Federation Navy was significantly larger than it is today, with multiple Fleet Admirals. In the modern Navy, the position of Fleet Admiral is reserved for usage in times of war or when a civilian politician holds the position of Chief of Naval Operations. Those becoming a commissioned officer can do so through a variety of means; Entrance to the Imperial Belfrasian Navy War College at New Alexandria being chief among them. Officer Candidacy Selection exists to give Enlisted-level personnel a chance to prove themselves to earn a commission.

With the exception of Commodores, who are commanding officers of squadrons, Flag Officers are always assigned a position of responsibility and authority within the Navy. These roles include Chief of Naval Operations, Commander of Naval Intelligence, and Commander of Fleet Logistics. Each Flag Officer is typically assisted by a retinue of senior enlisted personnel, warrant officers and/or junior officers.

Enlisted

Enlisted Personnel are determined as personnel of the Federation Navy whom neither are considered officers or possess a commission. Since before the liberation of the colonies, enlisted personnel within the Navy have been referred to as Ratings, with their rank structure named accordingly. Third, Second, and First Ratings are all addressed by their specialty except both in formal hearings or when communicating to the general public. Third Ratings within the Hospitalmen Division (HD) would be referred to as Junior Hospitalman.

Ratings continue a tradition that began in the 1960s of wearing colour-coded stripes to designate their specialization. White designates both the Seamen Division and the Hospital division. Blue refers to the Carpenters Division Whilst green and red refer to the Airmen and Engineer divisions respectively.

Ratings progress within the Federation navy by application and experience. It is common to see a Ratings commanding officer promote that Rating based on individual performance reviews or notable conduct demanding a higher position. Only a certain number of Ratings may progress in rank each year, leading to a large "back log" of promotion assessments and ensures that Ratings occupy the vast majority of positions within the Federation Navy. The Specialism system was created in the 1960s to create better organization of specific personnel, to allow for a wider sense of individuality and to promote senses of accomplishment in their specific fields.

Petty Officers within the Federation Navy are considered as NCOs (Non-Commissioned Officers) and are often considered to be command personnel within their specialties at their designated assignment, be it a naval vessel or a land facility. Petty Officers, regardless of rank, are addressed as Petty Officers or by their assignments title, such as 'Nurse', 'Master Engineer', and so forth.

Members of the Federation Navy are filtered into one of five divisions - Seamen, Hospitalmen, Engineer, Airmen, and Constructionmen. Following completion of basic training at any of the training centers around the country, they will be assigned into their requested division and follow on to Phase Two training either on-board a vessel or at a specialized training school. During Phase Two, the person in question will be granted a single striped badge to be fastened to the chest of their uniform. This stripe will be in the respective color of their division, allowing for easy identification and individuality. As they progress along the ranks their chest badge will gain a second and lastly a third stripe, with the last two stripes receiving a two and three-bar collar device.

The Specialization system is only in place up until the rank of Petty Officer, at which point the front-badge is replaced with a single block in their respective divisions color. They will, however, continue to wear the three-bar collar device seen on First rate members of their divisions. Officers, on the other hand, are entirely exempt from the specialization system, with select senior officers having commands over groups of people in a particular division on-board a vessel or at a facility.

Seamen

Seamen are the main bulk of personnel found in the Federation Navy. They handle everything from command, weaponry management, administrative duty, to active maintenance and running of most of the ship systems in exclusion to engineering. They closely work with the Engineer division in running the majority of ship systems and commanding the vessel and it's crew.

Given the amount of Seamen on-board a naval vessel, it's not unusual for Seamen to apprentice in duties handled by other divisions or to be assigned mundane duties such as cleaning the vessel.

They are best identified by their white stripe front-badge and the fact that all officers are automatically part of this division.

Hospitalmen

The Hospitalmen division is built up of those who specialize in medicine, scientific endeavours, and healthcare. Identified by their universal white stripe, members of this division are often found in the heart of naval vessels or more commonly at naval installations. Given the amount of training required to safely conduct the majority of tasks a person in this division would be called on to do, they're only allowed placement on-board a vessel when they achieve the rank of Second Rating, otherwise known in this division as a full Hospitalman.

Engineers

The Engineer division consists of personnel whom have specialized in all mechanical and electronic-based duties on-board vessels at on the navies land-based installations. As a result, members of this division are often found operating the ships engineering section, conducting repairs ship-wide or being involved with the on-board carpenter team with damage control. A job that works closely with Seamen is that of munitions handling, engineers are often seen conducting maintenance on weapon systems which may or may not require test fires or dealing with any situation that may occur during combat.

Identified by their red-striped chest badges, members of this division often partake in arguably the most dangerous jobs the navy has to offer. From mine clearance, operating ship reactors, and conducting SCUBA dives for damage control on a ships hull to fighting fires, flooding, and handling dangerous munitions or fuel.

Airmen

Men and women of the Airmen Division focus primarily on the maintenance, operation, and organization of the Federation Navy's aircraft. Small helicopters aboard corvettes and frigates to warplanes and cargo aircraft operated from aircraft carriers and land facilities are all under the jurisdiction of the Airmen Division. Personnel of this division are most predominantly identified by their green stripe badges or for their uniforms, which are often single-tone colours designating their very specific specialty within the division (e.g fuel handling, munition handling).

Pilots or other aircraft crewmen are also a part of this division, with two sets of badges in the shape of angel wings denoting junior and senior aviators as their identification badges. When in uniform, pilots often wear usual single-tone fatigues or specially designed flight suits to ensure high G-force maneuvers and prolonged exposure to elements.

Customs and Traditions

Ever since it's inception, the Federation Navy has always designated swords for ranks and positional usages. A freshly commissioned officer is given a ceremonial sword that will be that officers throughout their careers. As the officer is promoted the sword undergoes changes to reflect the persons rank. Names of the ships that the officer serves on are placed on the blade.

An officer who becomes a ship captain, regardless of that persons rank, is awarded the Captains Hat - A typical naval cap but white with gold trims as opposed to the standard navy blue. The cap remains the officer's for the remainder of his or her career but can only be worn while in command of a ship. Another item that officers in command of a vessel are granted is the usage of the Ship's Sword. During construction of a ship a part of it's working steel is retreated for usage as a blade which is then turned into the Ship's Sword. The sword belongs to the ship and remains with it should it's captain be reassigned or otherwise removed from his post. The names of each captain are stamped on the blade in mirror of the officer's personal sword along with dates of that officer's tenure as the commanding officer. When the vessel in question is decommissioned, the ship's sword is stored at the Federation Naval Museum in Thessalona.

Traditions of naming ships depending on hull type have been a constant in the Federation Navy. Historically battleships were named after first states of the Federation and then mountain ranges and peaks, although the Imperator-class was named after Latium emperors. Aircraft carriers originally were named after mythological heroes. Cruisers at the time of the Mutulese wars were named after battles and destroyers in alphabetical tribes. Submarines were named officially by their hull numbers, like corvettes and gunboats, and unofficially as their crews saw fit.

Today the hull classifications weigh heavily on how the class and it's ships are named. The fleet's aircraft carriers are named after the three Sovereign Princes of Belfras, with a prospective fourth to be possibly named after a sibling of the reigning monarch. Amphibious warfare vessels are named in varying ways - The largest: Amphibious Assault Ships are named after decorated marines. Landing Platform Docks are named after water landmarks around the Federation such as Lispen Sound. The cruisers of the Navy are named after states of the Federation with a plan in place to name them after mountain landmarks if needed. Destroyers are named after cities and towns, with frigates being named after noble titles of the country, such as Patri. Attack submarines are named after decorated or notable naval personnel, and ballistic missile submarines after mythological monsters. The auxiliary force name their ships in different traditions but each class tends to keep it's own theme.

Equipment

As of 2014, the Federation Navy operates XX Ships and XXXX aircraft. In addition, the Navy has 24 ships operated by the Military Nautical Transportation Command (MINOCO) crewed by a mixture of civilian contractors and uniformed Naval personnel.

The names of commissioned ships within the Federation Navy are always given the prefix "FNS", meaning "Federation Naval Ship". Non-Commissioned, civilian-manned ships of the navy are prefixed "FNA" or "Federation Navy Auxiliary". Names for ships are officially selected by the admiralty board, often to honor significant events or historical vessels of the navy. Each vessel is also given a letter-and-number based hull classification symbol (for example CVN and DDG) to indicate the vessels type and number. Every ship of the navy is placed into the Naval Registrar, which itself tracks information of each ship and it's history. A second registrar exists, known as the "Honor List" which holds the names of famous ships, their deeds and the crew that served aboard at the time. Even if the ship was sunk during the event that had it entered into the list or was since decommissioned, the honor list keeps thte name active and is able to transfer it to other vessels (An example is RNV Triumph, originally a late 1800s battleship). Vessels removed from the primary registrar for decommissioning are said to be "stricken from the registrar" although ships in the list are said to be "returned to the list".

The Federation Navy maintains one of it's Imperator-class battleships, the F.N.S Constantine XIX (BB-55) which is permanently moored at Thessalona as the Praefectus Classis' ceremonial flagship. The ship holds a special significance to the Military as a whole as it's named after Emperor Constantine XIX, the first emperor born in Belfras who was assassinated by socialist rebels at the onset of the Social War. During his life, Emperor Constantine earned a special relationship with the Belfrasian peoples over his birth occurring within Questros Palace, the seat of the Emperor in Belfras typically occupied by his Lord Palatine. Following his death the bond transferred to the battleship, with massive crowds congregating to watch the ship leave and enter port. Toward the end of the ship's service life in 1958 the military council decided to permanently moor it at Thessalona to continue to serve as the naval flagship for the Praefectus Classis.
