The Princely Navy (Venadian: Княжеский военно-морской Флот) is the naval arm of the Venadian Armed Forces. The Princely Navy has a long and storied tradition, having been established by the Naval Organization Act of 1475. The flag and insignia of the Princely Navy remain unchanged from this period, and it is reputed to be a highly traditional branch of the Armed Forces.

The standard ship prefix of the Prince Navy is KF or KBMF. The blue-water fleet of the Princely Navy commonly uses the former, while coastal and river & lake defence uses the latter. The Princely Navy is divided into the Western Fleet, the Submarine Fleet, the River Fleet and the At-Large Fleet, with the Western Fleet being by far the largest in terms of manpower. The Princely Navy also includes the Chirov Naval Garrison, which includes the 1st and 2nd Naval Infantry Brigades and the naval forts of Saint Ludomir's Fort and Saint Viktor's Fort. The 3rd Naval Infantry Brigade also falls under the command of the Navy, but is not part of the Chirov Naval Garrison.

The Princely Navy is relatively small compared to many of Venadia's neighbors, such as the Vesan Union, although in recent years a renewed focus on Venadia's power-projection capabilities have led to the expansion of the blue-water navy. Traditionally, the Navy's focus has been the brown-water navy and coastal patrol. Chirov's air capabilities remain largely limited to rotorcraft and propellers, barring the bombers and interceptors of the KF Mir (the Navy's sole aircraft carrier).
