Mikochi Coastal Defence Force

Mikochi's EEZ

The Mikochi Coastal Defence Force (Mikochinese: , Aromaji: ), abbreviated MCDF or CDF (海自, Kaiji), also simploy known as the Mikochinese Navy, is the maritime warfare branch of the Mikochi Defence Force, tasked with ensuring Mikochi's maritime safety and security.

The MCDF has seven identified tasks that it aims to perform:

• Search and Rescue
• Maritime Security
• Environmental Protection
• Maritime Traffic Management
• Scientific Research
• Maritime Law Enforcement
• Disaster Response & Humanitarian Aid

The MCDF was formed following the dissolution of the Grand Fleet and Revolutionary Fleet in 1984 after the signing of the ratification of the Mikochi People's Constitution. The MCDF has a fleet of XXX ships, XXX aircraft and XX,XXX personnel. As a result of increased funding following the controversial Defence Bill passed in 2012, the capabilities of the MCDF have grown exponentially, with many new ships being layed down in the last decade, and several more to be laid down in the next 5 years.

Mission in the Lotus Sea

The MCDF is known in particular for it's anti-piracy operations in the Lotus Sea, and by extension, the Baha del Trebol, Manamana Bay and Aurelian Shield. Piracy in the area has grown steadily over the last two decades, as traffic passing through the canal into the Lotus Sea has grown with the increase in global trade.

Defence of Aurelia

Placeholder for a nice long paragraph about how Mikochi's navy probably would have probably played a support role during the Anglian war, but I'll need to figure the details out. I'm waffling so that it looks like something is actually written here, but I probably can't keep this up for too much longer.
