The '''Zacapine Navy''' ({{wp|Nahuatl}}: πˆπΏπ°π‘Šπ‘Šπ¨ ππ―π‘‹π‘‹π°π‘Œπ»π¨πΈπΆπ¨π»π‘† πžπ°πΏπ°πΉπ¨π·π¬π»π‘Š, ''Acalli Cemmantihuitz Zacapiyotl'', '''ACZ''') is the main expeditionary arm of the [[Zacapine Armed Forces]]. It is built on the foundations of an oceangoing {{wp|blue-water navy}} which serves the dual purposes of protecting the littoral flanks of the peninsular Zacapine homeland in southern [[Ajax#Oxidentale|Oxidentale]] as well as projecting power clear across the oceans of the southern hemisphere from the Ooreqapi to the Makria ocean. In terms of its budget and active manpower, it is by far the largest branch of the Zacapine military and is roughly equal to the Air Force and the Army combined in these two categories. The Zacapine Navy is built around a force of {{wp|Fixed-wing aircraft|fixed-wing}} {{wp|aircraft carrier|aircraft carriers}} and specialized {{wp|amphibious warfare}} vessels which support the primary combat forces of the Naval Aviation and Naval Infantry corps. Within the Zacapine Armed Forces, the Zacapine Navy is considered to be the ''{{wp|primus inter pares}}'' of the three service branches, both because of its larger size and budget and because it independently maintains the general capabilities of the other service branches and often to a greater degree of readiness, training and technological sophistication. Β 
The '''Zacapine Navy''' ({{wp|Nahuatl}}: Аитик Π‘Π΅ΠΌΠ°Π½Ρ‚ΠΈΡ…ΡƒΠΈΡ† Π—Π°ΠΊΠ°ΠΏΠΈΠΉΠΎκ™Ÿ, ''Aitic Cemantihuitz Zacapiyotl'', '''ACZ''') is one of three independent military organizations of the [[Zacapican|United Zacapine Republics]], overseen by the [[Government of Zacapican|Naval Secretariat]] with an area of responsibility encompassing all {{wp|expeditionary warfare|expeditionary operations}} and military affairs beyond the borders of Zacapican proper including the defense of allied nations. In addition to a large {{wp|Blue-water navy|oceangoing fleet of ships}}, the Zacapine Navy also commands major ground forces and an air fleet of its own, making it a fully independent military force in its own right. The maritime combat component of the Zacapine Navy is built around a number of heavily-armed {{wp|Nuclear marine propulsion|nuclear-powered}} {{wp|Surface combatant|surface combatants}} supported by {{wp|Fixed-wing aircraft|fixed-wing}} {{wp|aircraft carrier}}s, built to confront a peer or near-peer naval opponent in the open seas as part of the Zacapine {{wp|grand strategy}} of [[Oceanic Supremacy (Zacapican)|oceanic supremacy]]. The Zacapine Naval Air Corps is one of the largest air forces in the world currently active, while the Naval Infantry Corps also known as the ''Xoxotilmani'' field an active 60,000-strong force of ground troops. Taken as a whole, the Zacapine Navy is more than twice the size of the [[Zacapine Army|Army]] and [[Zacapine National Guard|National Guard]] in terms of deployed manpower, tripling the combined expenditures of its sister services with its yearly budget. Β 


The doctrine of Naval primacy of the Zacapine Armed Forces is largely explained by the geography and history of Zacapican. The north of the peninsular mainland, the only region from which a land invasion could come, is generally hostile and difficult to traverse. The nature of the terrain, from the Mixtepemec and Tlaltenantli mountains to the arid Xallipan plateau, makes the movement of any major ground forces of any nation difficult to sustain logistically. Because of this, it requires an small active force to patrol and defend but does not pose a major concern for full scale invasion of the country nor have these territories demonstrated any real potential to serve as jumping off points for further Zacapine conquest northward. Conversely, Zacapican is relatively vulnerable to maritime aggression because of its heavy reliance on sea lanes in its transport network and the concentration of its population along the coasts because of the geography of the country's mountainous and inhospitable interior. This has compelled various Zacapine governments as far back as medieval [[Aztapamatlan]] to focus on the navy both as a means of defense and of projecting power and influence abroad. The Aztapaman Navy was one of the world's premiere maritime fighting forces during the age of sail, although it suffered defeats at the hands of the [[Mutul|Mutulese]] and later fell behind in the adoption of new types of warship over the course of the 19th century. Β 
==Pelagic fleet==
The fleet of oceangoing ships, known as the Pelagic fleet (''Centlani Cemantihuitz'') in the Zacapine Naval parlance, is structured into a distinct nuclear fleet of principal combatants and a non-nuclear fleet of auxiliary combatants and support vessels. The prime combatants of the nuclear fleet are the [[Nochcalima-class cruiser|Nochcalima cruisers]], a class of {{wp|Cruiser#Late_20th_century|guided-missile cruiser}} designed to directly engage enemy surface ships, with particular emphasis in combating the {{wp|carrier battle group}}s that are common among the most powerful navies in [[Ajax|the world]]. These cruisers are intended to be grouped together with an [[Utzua-class cruiser|Utzua reconnaissance cruiser]] and a [[Zancopinca-class carrier|Zancopinca carrier]], with both classes complimenting and enhancing the combat capabilities of the Nochcalima-class lead ship. Rounding out the nuclear fleet is the [[Micomitl-class destroyer|Micomitl type]] {{wp|Anti-aircraft warfare|air defense}} ship, which is meant to accompany her three sister classes of the nuclear fleet, acting as a platform for various {{wp|surface-to-air missile}}s with which to intercept enemy aircraft and anti-ship missiles. Groupings of these nuclear-powered vessels are termed Strike Groups (''Olochtli Calacahuizque''), whose primary mission profile is to locate and destroy enemy surface battle groups. Β 


The Zacapine Navy was founded in 1904, the year of the fall of Aztapamatlan to the [[Zacapine Revolution]], with a small squadron of captured Aztapaman ironclad steamers and sail-powered warships. From its inception, the Navy was one of the world's pioneering forces in the development of aircraft carriers and carrier aviation. The very first new ships commissioned by the Navy were a series of {{wp|Seaplane tender|seaplane tenders}} supporting a flotilla of seaplanes serving as both long range {{wp|Torpedo bomber|torpedo bombers}} and as a makeshift {{wp|combat air patrol}} protecting the fleet from enemy aircraft. These would be phased out around the time of the [[Hanaki War]] in favor of various types of conventional aircraft carriers that have been in service ever since. The central concept of the Zacapine Navy since these early years has been for surface combatants to avoid protracted battle with the opposing navy in each side batters the other with naval artillery and attempts to withstand strikes with heavy armor, and to instead focus on naval aviation which would be able to strike at the enemy while putting the fleet in as little danger of retaliatory attacks as possible, thereby accomplishing the same or better results in combat with less steel and fewer causalities. This concept would later be elaborated on with the development of guided missiles, increasingly advanced aircraft and the advent of more sophisticated methods of amphibious warfare which would see the capabilities of the Zacapine Navy expand far beyond their original scope. Β 
The non-nuclear fleet, made up of Support Groups (''Olochtli Palehuizque''), is a mix of combat and non-combat vessels whose function is to facilitate the mission of the Strike Groups. The [[Mixtiani-class destroyer|Mixtiani]] and [[Tlatlamani-class frigate|Tlatlamani]] class vessels, a general-purpose guided-missile destroyer and a specialist anti-submarine frigate respectively, are the main combatants of the supporting fleet. These two types of ship can be grouped together to form versatile squadrons for anti-submarine patrols and convoy escort duties. [[Ichcapixqui-class carrier|Ichcapixqui-class]] logistics vessels are the largest ship type of the non-nuclear navy, carrying logistics aircraft and acting as a mobile airbase for in-mission resupply of naval squadrons at sea. Support groups often include unarmed {{wp|Lift-on/lift-off|LoLo}} cargo ships and tanker ships that are part of the naval sealift units responsible for general logistics and support of overseas operation, but can also be used to resupply ships of the Pelagic fleet {{wp|underway replenishment|while at sea}}. Β 


==Organization==
==Ground forces==
The Zacapine Navy operates under its own administrative organ within the [[Government_of_Zacapican#Defense|Secretariat of Defense]]. Its chain of command places the Zacapine Tepachoani [[Zianya Xcaret]] at the top as the commander-in-chief of the overall military, followed by the Naval Chief-of-Staff who is currently Admiral Talen Xalla. The Navy is subdivided into five operational groups, or corps (''tlactli'') in the Navy's parlance, which specialize in different types of operations as part of the Navy's areas of responsibility. Each corps is commanded by an Admiral of Sub-Admiral assigned the office of ''Tlatolcuauhtic'' by the Chief-of-Staff. In total, the Navy commands 100,000 active service personnel, all of whom are volunteer career soldiers. A special dispensation of the Armed Forces Law in Zacapican allows the Navy to enact its own conscription policy independent of the rest of the military during times of war to expand its manpower pool as necessary to conduct its operations. Β 
The Naval Infantry Corps (''Centlamantin Moceloquichque Aitic'' or ''CMA'') better known as the Xoxotilmani are the ground forces of the Zacapine Navy, and are responsible for all ground combat operations in the Navy's zone of responsibility, which encompasses any conflict zone that does not directly border Zacapine territory.

The Zacapine Navy (Nahuatl: Аитик Π‘Π΅ΠΌΠ°Π½Ρ‚ΠΈΡ…ΡƒΠΈΡ† Π—Π°ΠΊΠ°ΠΏΠΈΠΉΠΎκ™Ÿ, Aitic Cemantihuitz Zacapiyotl, ACZ) is one of three independent military organizations of the United Zacapine Republics, overseen by the Naval Secretariat with an area of responsibility encompassing all expeditionary operations and military affairs beyond the borders of Zacapican proper including the defense of allied nations. In addition to a large oceangoing fleet of ships, the Zacapine Navy also commands major ground forces and an air fleet of its own, making it a fully independent military force in its own right. The maritime combat component of the Zacapine Navy is built around a number of heavily-armed nuclear-powered surface combatants supported by fixed-wing aircraft carriers, built to confront a peer or near-peer naval opponent in the open seas as part of the Zacapine grand strategy of oceanic supremacy. The Zacapine Naval Air Corps is one of the largest air forces in the world currently active, while the Naval Infantry Corps also known as the Xoxotilmani field an active 60,000-strong force of ground troops. Taken as a whole, the Zacapine Navy is more than twice the size of the Army and National Guard in terms of deployed manpower, tripling the combined expenditures of its sister services with its yearly budget.

Pelagic fleet

The fleet of oceangoing ships, known as the Pelagic fleet (Centlani Cemantihuitz) in the Zacapine Naval parlance, is structured into a distinct nuclear fleet of principal combatants and a non-nuclear fleet of auxiliary combatants and support vessels. The prime combatants of the nuclear fleet are the Nochcalima cruisers, a class of guided-missile cruiser designed to directly engage enemy surface ships, with particular emphasis in combating the carrier battle groups that are common among the most powerful navies in the world. These cruisers are intended to be grouped together with an Utzua reconnaissance cruiser and a Zancopinca carrier, with both classes complimenting and enhancing the combat capabilities of the Nochcalima-class lead ship. Rounding out the nuclear fleet is the Micomitl type air defense ship, which is meant to accompany her three sister classes of the nuclear fleet, acting as a platform for various surface-to-air missiles with which to intercept enemy aircraft and anti-ship missiles. Groupings of these nuclear-powered vessels are termed Strike Groups (Olochtli Calacahuizque), whose primary mission profile is to locate and destroy enemy surface battle groups.

The non-nuclear fleet, made up of Support Groups (Olochtli Palehuizque), is a mix of combat and non-combat vessels whose function is to facilitate the mission of the Strike Groups. The Mixtiani and Tlatlamani class vessels, a general-purpose guided-missile destroyer and a specialist anti-submarine frigate respectively, are the main combatants of the supporting fleet. These two types of ship can be grouped together to form versatile squadrons for anti-submarine patrols and convoy escort duties. Ichcapixqui-class logistics vessels are the largest ship type of the non-nuclear navy, carrying logistics aircraft and acting as a mobile airbase for in-mission resupply of naval squadrons at sea. Support groups often include unarmed LoLo cargo ships and tanker ships that are part of the naval sealift units responsible for general logistics and support of overseas operation, but can also be used to resupply ships of the Pelagic fleet while at sea.

Ground forces

The Naval Infantry Corps (Centlamantin Moceloquichque Aitic or CMA) better known as the Xoxotilmani are the ground forces of the Zacapine Navy, and are responsible for all ground combat operations in the Navy's zone of responsibility, which encompasses any conflict zone that does not directly border Zacapine territory.
