The Aisling Naval Service (Aisling: Seirbhís Chabhlaigh Aisling) is one of three branches of the Aisling Defense Force and is tasked with the defense of Aisling territorial waters and vessels at sea. It is the smallest and of three branches, and is designed, primarily, to provide defense against seaborne invasion of the homeland or harassment by foreign forces, as well as anti-piracy operations and humanitarian assistance during times of crisis both within Temuair and abroad.
Vessels belonging to the Naval Service are referred to as the Árthach Cabhlaigh Aisling (Aisling Naval Vessel), or ACA.
