The Afthonian Navy, officially referred to as the Afthonian Military Forces Navy (Gionan: Αφθονίακές Στρατιωτικές Δυνάμεις Ναυτικό; script: Afthoníakés Stratiotikés Dynámeis Naftikó, abbreviated as the ASDN or AMFN), is the naval service branch of the Afthonian Military Forces (AMF). The ASDN was founded in 1907 as the Confederate Navy which makes it, alongside the ASDA, as the oldest service branch in the AMF. The AMFN is responsible for naval warfare operations, tasked with safeguarding Afthonia's territorial waters, provide power projection capabilities for the nation and support the Afthonian Marine Corps in expeditionary and amphibious warfares. Though the navy's power projection and expeditionary capabilities are primarily centered around regional concerns in Megale Sea and its neighboring seas, it also does have the capability to project force globally. Administratively the Navy is divided into three primary sub-branches: AMFN Surface Force, AMFN Submarine Force and AMFN Naval Aviation. The AMFN Surface Force represents the bulk of the AMFN's fighting force, operating numerous types of both combat and logistic warships. Aircraft carriers and Amphibious Assault Ships are considered as cornerstones of the AMF's overall doctrine as it allows the AMF to project power abroad and beyond Veleda and the Megale Sea. Major surface combatants operated by the AMFN includes the Leonidas-class guided missile cruisers, Constellation-class destroyers and Ilus-class frigates. These complemented by numerous types of missile & patrol boats which serve as force multipliers. The AMFN also operates various ships for underway replenishment operations which helps maintain AMFN aircraft carriers to patrol at sea for extended periods of time without needing to return to port. The Naval Aviation is a sub-component of the Navy and serves as its dedicated air wing and operates both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters with the ST-12 Kestrel in service as its primary multirole carrier-based fighter. The AMFN Submarine Force is responsible for operating the navy's submarine fleet comprised of both attack and ballistic missile submarines, the latter used as part of Afthonia's deterrence strategy. Traditionally the Navy has been deployed mostly in supporting roles throughout its history, transporting troops and providing indirect fire support to ground forces. However with the advent of fighter aircraft and ultimately aircraft carriers, the Navy has transitioned to being one of the AMF's cornerstones for providing regional power projection. Among the Navy's most well known deployments includes its involvement in the Drometian War, XX conflict, XX war & XX conflict. The navy often works in conjunction with the Afthonian Marine Corps as well as Matitime Security Agency to ensure that maritime security laws are enforced throughout Afthonia's territorial waters and claimed exclusive economic zone. Commissioned vessels of the navy are given the prefix APP standing for (Gionan: Αφθονίακές Πολεμικό πλοίο; script: Afthoníakés Polemikó ploío) which means Afthonain Warship.
