Naval ensign of Chilokver

As of October 2019, the Grand Chilokveri Navy (GCN) consisted of 190 commissioned vessels.

The primary strength of the fleet is divided among the 51 ships of the surface combatant force, as well as the 13 SSNs and 4 SSBNs of the submarine service. Main assets include 2 aircraft carriers, 8 air-defense destroyers, and 33 guided missile frigates from which the 1st and 2nd Battlefleets are formed. Amphibious warfare units include 2 amphibious assault ships and 4 amphibious transport docks, which form the core of the 1st & 2nd Expeditionary Fleets. 13 Fale-class corvettes and 9 Antarktis-class offshore patrol vessels are responsible for conducting low intensity combat and coastal & economic exclusion zone (EEZ) patrols. A further 24 Alpha-class fast attack craft provide littoral-based anti-surface attack capabilities, while 22 Aleph-class mine countermeasure vessels are responsible for clearing Chilokveri waterways. In addition to the above units, the GCN operates 6 fast combat support ships and 6 electronic surveillance vessels.

The Grand Chilokveri Navy is supported at sea by ships of the Chilokveri Naval Auxiliary (CNA), which are often maintained at a reduced operating status or leased out on civilian contracts, but which can be deployed within short periods of time when necessary. Although these auxiliary vessels are largely crewed by civilian mariners, they are commanded by GCN officers and are officially commissioned in service of the Grand Chilokveri Navy. In addition to a fleet of sealift ships, ships operated by the Chilokveri Naval Auxiliary include 2 submarine rescue ships, 3 icebreakers, 4 hydrographic survey ships, 2 hospital ships, 1 maritime support vessel, and 1 training vessel.

The prefix used for ships commissioned by the Grand Chilokveri Navy is GCNS (Grand Chilokveri Navy Ship).
