The Zacapine Navy, formally known as the Armada of the United Zacapine Republics, is the maritime arm of the Zacapine Armed Forces responsible for all coastal, oceanic and amphibious activities undertaken by the Zacapine military. It is a blue-water navy intended to operate all across the southern hemisphere in the Ooreqapi, Amictlan, Vespanian and Makrian oceans, protecting the littoral flanks of the peninsular Zacapine homeland in southern Oxidentale and maintaining expeditionary capability with regards to the continent of Malaio that has been of great strategic concearn to the Zacapines for centuries.

The naval forces of the Zacapine military benefit from the nation's doctrine of naval primacy set during the Xolotecate era and influenced by the naval dominance of the intercontinental empire of Aztapamatlan. The Armada benefits from the highest budget of the four branches of the Zacapine Armed Forces as well as the highest standing personnel count, although it is eclipsed in total manpower by the reserve components of the Zacapine Army.
