The Royal Mespalian Navy (Mespalian: Mechpælæn râllinen marîne, French: Marine royale mespalienne) is the naval branch of the Royal Mespalian Armed Forces, responsible for the defense of Mespalia and its territorial waters.
The RNN has a fleet of 44 ships and 21,000 active-duty personnel. In addition, around 10,000 conscripts serve in the Navy. These numbers also include the 4,000-strong Royal Mespalian Naval Infantry Corps.
History
The Royal Mespalian Navy was first created during the War of Mespalian Independence in 1804 and at the time, it consisted of requistioned civilian ships and the Independancce, a captured Aininian Sloop-of-war. The Navy grew rapidly during the war, and after Mespalia gained international recognition for its independence, it became an official part of the Royal Mespalian Armed Forces]].
The Navy took part in the Ulcoilo Crisis in 1880 and dispatched several of its ships to the Strait of Mespalia. The Navy's first aircraft carrier, MRMV Independancce entered service in 1971, though it was retired and replaced with a landing helicopter dock with the same name in 1999.
Today, Royal Mespalian Navy is a typical green water navy. It mostly patrols the Lazarene Sea adjacent to Mespalia, but has occasionally conducted operations further away from Mespalia.
