The Royal Navy is the principal naval warfare service branch of the Aswickan Armed Forces. As of January 2017, there are X commissioned ships in the Royal Navy. 34 of the commissioned vessels are major surface combatants (frigates) and 18 are nuclear-powered submarines (six ballistic missile submarines and twelve fleet submarines as of 2016). In addition the Navy possesses a two carriers, a landing platform helicopter, two amphibious transport docks, 15 mine countermeasures vessels, 18 patrol vessels, four survey vessels, one icebreaker and an historic warships (Aswick).

The Royal Navy currently operates three bases where commissioned ships are based; HMNB Clearview, HMNB Jamestown and HMNB Hunter. In addition, a number of commissioned vessels belonging to the University Royal Naval Units (URNU) are stationed at various locations around Aswick.

Besides the Royal Navy, the Royal Fleet Auxiliary and the Royal Marines operate their own flotillas of naval vessels which complement the assets of the Royal Navy, however they are not included in this list or the above figures. In addition, the naval training vessels Beacon and Cromwell can be found based at the Royal Navy shore establishment HMS Crocky and the Royal Naval College Carame, respectively. As a supporting contingent of His Majesty's Naval Service, the civilian Marine Services operate a large number of auxiliary ships (including coastal logistics, tugs and research vessels) in support of Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary operations.

All ships and submarines currently in commission with the Royal Navy were built in Aswick, with the exception of icebreaker Inspector which was built in Aquitayne. All vessels of the Royal Navy bear the ship prefix "HMS" - His Majesty's Ship - with the exception of submarines which bear the prefix "HM Submarine", and Glider which bears the prefix "HMSML" - His Majesty's Survey Motor Launch. Another exception is HMAS Aswick, which has the prefix HMAS -His Majesty's Aswickan Ship- because it was in active commission when Aswick was a subject of Aquitayne.
