The Imperial Navy of Temuair (Aisling: Mariña Imperial do Temuair) is one of three branches of the Armed Forces of the Temuair Empire and is tasked with the defense of Imperial 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 Empire 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 Imperial Navy are referred to as the Buque Naval de Aisling (Aisling Naval Vessel), or BNA.

History

Naming conventions

Naming conventions for Aisling naval vessels were established by the Ministry of Defense following the 1910 Reformation. The Ministry of Defense had also proposed to change the designation for Aisling naval vessels from the traditional BNA, standing for for Aisling Naval Vessel, to INV for Imperial Naval Vessel. However Emperador Neira I vetoed this decision, stating that it divested the spirit of the nation and its people from the vessels.

Vessel classes are always cities or other geographic locations.

Any vessel of any class may be named in honor of a deceased prominent citizen or member of the Armed Forces.
