The Garamburan Navy, often referred to by its native name Marine garambourenne (MG) is the primary naval warfare branch of the Garamburan Armed Forces. The navy is among the more modernised navies in Bahia, with a significant primary supplier in Halland. The navy's role is primarily patrol in the Banfura Sea, however Garambura maintains small amounts of combat vessels. The Garamburan Navy is most active in combatting Banfuran piracy and illegal fishing in the Gulf of Deselles. The Garamburan Navy is considered a brown-water navy and often conducts military operations against modern iterations of the River Bedouin along the Gonda.
