The Mascyllary Navy (Hesurian: Maskillische Marine [maski:lɪʃə maʁi:nə]), or officially the Royal War Navy (KKM), is the navy and branch for naval warfare of the Reichswehr of Mascylla. The commander of the Navy is High Admiral Friedrich Stühre, and is supervised by the Minister of Defence of the Realm Rüdiger Meißert and Prime Minister Thomas Falkner. As of 2020, the branch had a strength of 19,934 active soldiers and 6,820 reserve personnel, 54 aircraft, operated six naval bases, and maintained presence at three other civilian and trade harbours. Its size makes it the largest navy within the Telmerian Union, and among the largest in the world. The Mascyllary Navy was founded in 1924 after the Mascyllary Revolution, in which the navy of the Mascyllary Kingdom, the Reichsmarine, was formally disbanded; it is not a organizational continuation of its predecessor.

Inheriting one of the world's most powerful navies upon its establishment in 1924 from the Mascyllary Kingdom, the Mascyllary Navy immediately seized its ability to assert naval superiority on a global scale, despite thorough fleet size reductions. For the better part of the 20th century, the Navy was pivotal in the defence and patroulling of the Mascyllary colonial empire, its dominions, and its number of military bases and coaling stations spread across all continents. It played a large role in conflicts of the Great Game, beginning with the Melasian Crisis in the 1940s, and continues to focus on expeditionary forward operations and deployments, particularly since the Ochoccola War of 1994; the Navy is one of the world's foremost blue-water navies with sizable strength in the Endotheric, western Agric, and Caphtoran Oceans and due to its capability to project power globally, it is a major party and pillar of Mascyllary foreign and security policy.

The Navy's mission is to support the objectives of the Reichswehr and the Ministry of Defence at large: "to protect the integrity and safety of Mascylla and to promote, sustain, and support peace and security internationally." In comparison to its other branches, it receives sufficient funding and is equipped with more modern technology though it is usually behind the Air Force in terms of technological sophistication and combat readiness. While it is specifically entrusted with naval-based affairs, the other branches of the military also maintain naval power suited for their maritime, lettoral and land environments respectively; the most notable branch of which is the Royal Naval Marine Corps (Königliche Marinekorps), being in turn an integral component of the Mascyllary Navy. The Navy also maintains a small flotilla of aircraft for reconaissance, strategic support and rescue operations.

Organisation

The Mascyllary Navy is de facto administered by the Mascyllary Ministry of Defence and thus its executive minister, but retains a ceremonial position under the sitting Monarch as the country's commander-in-chief of all of its armed forces which is in turn exercised by the Prime Minister as head of government. The most senior naval officer is the High Admiral of the Royal War Navy (Hochadmiral der königlichen Kriegsmarine, HAM) who, though ceremonial in essence and not part of the chain of command in peacetime, reports directly to the Minister of Defence, the Monarch and Prime Minister. The Chief of Naval Staff (Stabschef der königlichen Kriegsmarine, SCM) is the main administrative and command position within the Navy, and is a member of and supported by the Navy Supreme Command (Oberkommando der königlichen Kriegsmarine).
