The Quetana Navy is the maritime and naval warfare arm of the Quetanan Armed Forces. It is responsible for naval and amphibious operations. The Quetanan Navy was established in its current form on April 2nd, 1911, although it has existed since the early 1300s, as the Imperial Quetanan Navy. For several centuries, it played a crucial logistical role in the expansion and consolidation of the Quetanan Empire, and defended a vast trade network across the Olympic Ocean and Toyana Ocean across their territories in Adula, Euronia, and Ausiana.

The Quetanan Navy was the most powerful maritime force in the world in the 16th and 17th centuries, and possibly the world's largest navy at the end of the 16th century and in the early 17th century, after which it experienced a steep decline upon the wars with Skith. The navy was absolved by Skith, but was reinstituted upon independence in 1835, and improved its logistical and military capacity in the 19th century, for most of which Quetana possessed the world's fourth largest navy. Following the 1911 Revolution, Quetana transitioned to a smaller fleet but maintained a shipbuilding industry which produced important technical innovations. The Quetanan Navy built and operated one of the first military submarines, made important contributions in the development of destroyer warships, and again achieved a first global circumnavigation, this time by an ironclad vessel. Since the end of the World War, the Quetanan navy had concentrated its efforts on building naval forces to counteract hostilities of aggressive nations in Southern Adula.

Today the Quetanan Navy is one of the most important in the world, and one of the only a few naval forces on the planet capable of projecting an important level of force in their own hemisphere.
