The Kouralian Royal Navy is the Wet-Warfare Branch of the Kouralian Military and is a fully fledged Blue-Water Navy which operates throughout Mystria and beyond. While it is not the 'favoured child' of the three service branches, the Navy still operates a modern, disciplined, and well-equipped force.

It is responsible for crewing all ships, landing craft and patrol boats in the military - though there are some smallcraft operated by the Corps of Engineers of the Royal Army, or by the Air Force's Coastal Warfare Command. The Navy also has responsibility for all aircraft embarked on Naval ships and for the Fleet Fusilier Guard - a force of infantrymen who secure naval vessels and facilities, along with assisting army expeditionary troops in landings.

Organisation

High Command

The Admiralty Board is the administrative high command of the Navy. It is made up of the senior-most staff officers, and is regularly joined by senior elected and appointed civilians such as the Justiciar of State for War, or senior civil servants. The Chair of the Admiralty is assisted by the Principal Master-Warrant Officer of the Navy, who is the service's senior enlisted advisor. It is their responsibility to keep a link open between the high command and enlisted 'practitioners.'

• Lord and Master of the Admiralty - professional head of the Royal Navy.
• Undermaster of the Admiralty, and Master of the Shore - Deputy to the Chair, and responsible for Fleet Reserves and Shore Establishments.
• Master of the Fleet - responsible for all operational management of vessels.
• Controller of the Fleet - responsible for technical support, outfitting, and procuring of vessels.
• Master of Fleet Supplies - responsible for supplying the navy, and his responsibilities included transport, victualling (supplying food), and medical services.
• Admiral-Adjutant - responsible for personnel development and support, and training.

The Admiralty Board does not exercise operational command of naval forces, as this is passed down via the Joint Service Commands. However, it is responsible for ensuring that sufficient vessels are allocated to each Joint Naval Command to meet its purpose, as well as ensuring they are sufficiently staffed and equipped.

Administrative Services

FRNS Invincible and RKNV Queen Alyx En Fidelis, the latter of the Surface Fleet Service.

The Kouralian Navy is divided into multiple branches which are responsible for the administration of particular areas of responsibility. These are all overseen by the Office of the Admiralty and Marine Affairs, the sub-division of the civilian Justiciary of War that is responsible for overseeing the Navy. The Office is also manned by Staff officers from the Naval Staff.

• The Surface Fleet is responsible for management of all surface combat vessels such as Frigates, AIrcraft Carriers, and even smallcraft like Minehunters and Patrolboats.
• The Underfleet is responsible for management of all submarines.
• The Airfleet is responsible for management of all embarked aircraft - whether that be squadrons of strike bombers on a carrier or the single embarked helicopter on a corvette.
• The Expeditionary Fleet is responsible for management of all Amphibious Warfare ships, and also for the management of the Fleet Fusilier Guard. These are naval personnel who are primarily responsible for force protection and public facing duties, and limited infantry roles during expeditionary operations.
• The Auxiliary Fleet is responsible for management of all the Fleet Auxiliary vessels like replenishment oilers, hospital ships, and even mobile workshops capable of performing serious maintenance on ships overseas.

Personnel & Trade Branches

All personnel are divided into one of the nine Trade Branches, within which they will have a particular specialism that encompasses their day job. The Trade of an enlisted rate is denoted in by a Rate insignia on their right sleeve which complements their rank insignia on the left. Officers wear coloured distinction cloth between the rings on their sleeves, or the devices on their shoulder boards are backed with cloth of that colour.

• The Warfare Trade are responsible for the operation of most of the systems on any warship, with personnel divided up into the General Service, Airfleet, and Underfleet branches. Specialisms include Warfare Specialist, Hydrographic & Meteorological Specialist, Fleet Regulator, Naval Airman, and Communication Information Systems Specialist Submarine. Naval vessel commanders are drawn solely from this Trade. Officers of this trade technically wear dark blue distinction cloth, but practically speaking this is represented by having no distinction cloth. Uniquely, Regulating officers wear Regulation Blue distinction cloth.
• The Engineering Trade are responsible for maintaining and repairing physical equipment, and personnel are divided up into the Weapons, Marine, and Aviation Engineering branches. Specialisms include Technician, Artificer and Mechanic for each branch. Officers of this Trade wear orange distinction cloth.
• The Medical Trade are responsible for the provision of general and combat medical care to servicepersons - whether that be on a hospital ship, in a naval hospital, or in the clinic on a regular warship. Specialisms include nurses, medical technicians and medical assistants. Officers of this Trade wear red distinction cloth.
• The Logistics Trade are responsible for providing food, fuel, hospitality and general administration to the Fleet. Specialisms are Chef, Steward, Writer, and Supply Chain. Officers of this Trade wear pale blue distinction cloth.
• The Sacoracy Trade consists purely of Commissioned Ðyacoſæ and Enlisted Ðyacos' Assistants who are responsible for providing counselling, confidantes, and theological services to the fleet. Officers of this Trade wear white distinction cloth.

Operational Formations

The Naval Forces assigned to each Joint Service Command are usually made up of permanent formations into and out of which ships are assigned depending on personnel, maintenance, and supplying needs. These ships and smaller formations can be brought into and out of the responsibility of Joint Service Commands by the Admiralty Board, however the Admiralty Board is tasked with ensuring that all JSC Naval Headquarters are adequately staffed to accomplish any strategic aims they are assigned. For the Admiralty Board to remove forces from a JSC without consulting its commander would be an extreme act.

Formations of ships are generally described as follows:

• A Numbered Fleet is the term for a plurality of Fleets and attached Squadrons. This is usually a permanently established formation into and out of which lesser formations are brought as and when required and which is usually tied to a Joint Service Command. An example of this is the 1st, or Grand Fleet which is a part of Home Command.
• A Battlefleet is the term for the main component of a naval fighting force. That is a Carrier Battlesquadron, a Cruiser Battlesquadron, and two Escort Battlesquadrons.
• A Battlesquadron is the term for any grouping of vessels which is led by a Carrier or a larger class of Amphibious Warfare vessels.
• A Squadron is any grouping of vessels not led by one of the above types of vessels.

As an example, the 2nd, or Eastern Fleet is attached to Mystrian Naval Command. This is made up of a number of patrol, escort, and shore-based support squadrons along with both Battlefleet Alexander Kazansky and BattlefleetHelena Wells and an Expeditionary Battlesquadron. The Battlefleet Alexander Kazansky is based at JFB Progress Hill in the United Kingdom of Malgrave and is made up of the Carrier Battlesquadron Alexander Kazansky, a Cruiser Squadron and two Escort Squadrons. Meanwhile the Battlefleet Helena Wells is based in the Kouralian colony and is made up of the Carrier Battlesquaron Helena Wells, a Cruiser Squadron and two Escort Squadrons. Supporting this are Mine-Countermeasure Squadrons, independent Escort Squadrons of Corvettes, Frigates and Destroyers, Patrolboat Squadrons at each base, Shore-based Aviation Squadrons, and Auxiliary supply Squadrons.

Personnel

Rank Structure

The Officers of the Kouralian Navy hold leadership and management roles, though are rarely trained with in-depth technical knowledge about the systems they are responsible for. They usually do not directly operate warfare, engineering, communication, or other technical equipment. Principal exceptions to this are Hydrographical and Meteorological Officers whose expertise and education is traditionally commensurate with the authority and remuneration that a commission entails, Pilots, and Nuclear Reactor Supervision Officers.

Grade	Rank title	Notes
10	Lord High Admiral	Is the rank held by the Lord and Master of the Admiralty, and if the Lord and Master of the Forces is a Naval Officer, by them as well. Reaching this rank bestows a Life-Lordship on the holder, though they not sit in the Crown Assembly unless they are incumbent in one of those two positions. The holder of this rank is entitled to a flag of office. Currently only the Chair of the Navy holds this rank.
9	Fleet Admiral	Is an exceptionally senior executive rank, held by the remaining members of the Admiralty Board as well as the commander of a Joint Service Command or Deployed Forces Command should they be a Naval Officer. The holder of this rank is entitled to a flag of office. Currently eight people hold this rank.
8	Admiral	Is a senior executive rank, held within the Naval Staff by those who do not quite sit on the Admiralty Board, such as Flag Officer Sea Training who answers to the Admiral-Adjutant, or Flag Officer Fusiliers who answers to the Vys-Chair of the Admiralty. Within the Joint Service Commands, the deputy of each JSC and the commander of the naval contingent within each JSC is a 'Full' Admiral. The holder of this rank is entitled to a flag of office.
7	Vice-Admiral	Is an executive-level rank held by senior naval staff members. This rank is held by the operational commander of a 'Numbered' Fleet, along with senior staff officers.
6	Legate-At-Sea	Is the juniormost executive-level rank and is held by those who are responsible for the command of Battlesquadrons, Fusilier Legions large commands of fleet aviation forces, and staff officers in larger commands. Attaining this rank entitles one to use the term of address Legate even once retired, and it is the first rank at which one is entitled to the use of a flag.
5	Post-Captain	Is the seniormost of the Posted-Command ranks, and is held by those who command the largest of ships, such as Aircraft Carriers or Guided Missile Cruisers. The largest of Squadrons or Divisions within Battlesquadrons can be lead by Post-Captains too. The Chief of Staff for a Numbered Fleet is a 'Post-Captain' referred to as the Captain of the Fleet. The commander of any Kouralian naval vessel is referred to as the Captain, however this does not mean they necessarily hold the rank of Captain.
4	Commander	Is a senior Posted-Command rank, held by those who command smaller ships such as Frigate or Destroyer-sized escorts. They can also be responsible for junior staff roles or Department Head roles on larger ships.
3	Vys-Commander	A Vys-Commander is a Posted-Command rank held by those who command small vessels such as Minelayers and patrol boats. Otherwise it is a common rank for Executive Officers and department Heads on Escort vessels.
2	Centenær	Is generally the juniormost Posted-Command rank, held by those who lead the smallest of patrol boats. Otherwise it is held by officers within a ship's departments.
1	Vyntenær Ensign	Is held by junior officers recently out of the Naval College who occupy roles within one of a Ship's Departments.

They are highly modernised twin-island carriers designed to operate STOVL fixed-wing aircraft at a high operational tempo, with a huge Embarked Aviation Group of 130 airframes to support this. Commanded by Captains, they are the flagships of their Battlesquadrons, though are usually not the Battlefleet's Flagship due to their priority as a target.
Senator-Class Light Carrier 30 Hulls	The Royal Union of Kouralia	RKNV Father-Of-The-House	Displacement: 22,000 tons Length Overall: 209m Beam: 36m Depth: 8m Complement:650 Air Crew: 350 Speed: 18kts Sustainable Range: 8,100 Miles	The Senator-Class were originally the only serious aviation assets for the Kouralian Navy until the Fleet Carrier Project bore the fruits of the Hero-Class. They are significantly smaller and older than the Hero-Class - carrying only 21 Airframes, but can still undertake fully independent defensive and offensive ASaC, ASW and ASuW aviation operations. These Ships are commanded by Captains.
Magic-Class Aviation Cruiser 69 Hulls	The Royal Union of Kouralia	RKNV Fireball	Displacement: 14,150 tons Length Overall: 180.2m Beam: 33.4m Depth: 8.2m Complement: 550 Air Crew: 180 Speed: 30kts Sustainable Range: 8,100 miles	Significantly smaller and with significantly less capability, the Magic-Class of Flight-Deck Cruisers are intended to act as screening escorts and redundancy hulls for the aviation assets of any Kouralian battlefleet. They can operate STOVL craft, but are usually restricted to rotary-wing air operations, being able to operate limited ASW, ASuW and ASaC capabilities with their complement of 18 Airframes. These ships are commanded by Captains. A number of these ships operate independently as the lead ships of the Kouralian Navy's Coastal Command's Extended-Range Interdiction Areas.

The ship has 8 Anti-Surface Missiles, a 48-cell Anti-Air VLS System, 3 76mm guns, 2 single-tubes for torpedoes with 24 carried, and 2 25mm automatic cannons. The vessel features no CIWS, though the 76mm guns can fulfil that role. The vessel can carry one medium-sized helicopter.
Prince-Class Guided Missile Destroyer ?? Hulls	The Royal Union of Kouralia	RKNV Palatine	Displacement: 4,500 t Length Overall: 147m Beam: 16.1m Depth: 5m Complement: 380 Speed: 32kts Sustainable Range: 7,000 Miles	The Prince-Class of Anti-Air Escorts are currently legacy vessels, which only avoided complete phasing out due to the expense of the Prefect-Vessel Programme. They are heavily armed vessels, with one main 155mm gun and three 76mm guns, 4 Surface-to-Surface missiles, a number of SAM missile Launchers, and two triple torpedo launchers. The vessel features no CIWS, though the 76mm guns can fulfil that role. The high concentration of armaments on a small hull necessitates the high crew count compared to other ships. The vessel can carry two small helicopters.
Anti-Submarine Warfare
Justice-Class ASW Frigate ?? Hulls	The Royal Union of Kouralia	RKNV Prosecutor firing main gun	Displacement: 4,900 t Length Overall: 133m Beam: 16.1m Depth: 7.3m Complement: 185 Speed: 28kts Sustainable Range: 7,500 Miles
