The Garamburan Navy, often referred to by its native name Marine garambourenne (MG) is the primary naval warfare branch of the Garamburan Armed Forces. The navy is among the more modernised navies in Bahia, with a significant primary supplier in Halland. The navy's role is primarily patrol in the Banfura Sea, however Garambura maintains small amounts of combat vessels. The Garamburan Navy is most active in combatting Banfuran piracy and illegal fishing in the Gulf of Deselles. The Garamburan Navy is considered a brown-water navy and often conducts military operations against modern iterations of the River Bedouin along the Gonda.
History
From its independence in 1969 to 1977, Garambura lacked a distinct and separate naval command. Naval patrols were carried out by smaller police boats and were mainly used to deter pirates on small boats from attempting to board ships leaving the Port of Mambiza. Following the Nativity War against Rwizikuru, Takakunda Kuda Kani sought to modernise Garambura's navy into a more competent force. The Navy itself was created in 1977 with the purchase of two Riverine-class patrol boats from Halland in 1977, the NMG Amsalu and the NMG Nationale, the first ships commissioned by the Garamburan Navy.
Patrol boats formed the entirety of the Garamburan Navy until 1997, when the Garamburan government purchased two Gearing-class frigates, which remain the force's only two active combat-capable ships. The ownership of the frigates remains controversial within Garambura due to their maintenance costs, but the government maintains that they are a necessary backbone to Garambura's marine force in Bahia. Four Walsh-class patrol boats were ordered from Halland between 2000 and 2002, followed by a Serene-class mine countermeasures vessel in 2002. Garambura's first domestically produced ship, the Charles Dumont-class, entered service in 2005. A hospital ship, the Charles Dumont-class is mainly used to assist paramedics and can often be seen operating along the Gonda delta in Mambiza.
