The Carlosian Navy (Spanish: Marina Cárlosiana) is the naval warfare branch of the Carlosian Armed Forces, the military of Carloso. Historically, it can trace its ancestry back to the warships of the Musgorocian treasure fleet that defected to the side of the Carlosians in the Spitfire War on 27 August 1577, aiding in the defence of Madrigal and preventing attempts by the Iberian Union and England to resupply their colonial garrisons. After independence, the Navy was tasked with protecting Carlosian interests and driving out any remaining influence held by European colonial powers from Musgorocia. After the foundation of the Carlosian Empire, the power and size of the Carlosian Navy grew steadily, transforming itself into the dominant naval force in Musgorocia and contending with the other regional powers, Barssois and Bourgougia. Throughout the eighteenth and much of the nineteenth century, the Carlosian Navy was virtually unmatched but after the Carlosian Civil War was overtaken in 1847 by the Bar Navy as Musgorocia's largest naval force.
Nearly a century later, in the 1940s, a huge programme of naval rearmament yet again turned the Navy into the largest of its kind in the region, fighting against the Bourgougian Navy during the Emergency War. Following the defeat of Bourgougia and Barssois, the Carlosian Navy was yet again unmatched in its position within Musogorocia.
The modern Carlosian Navy operates an array of sophisticated warships, submarines and other watercraft.
