Naval Forces
STRONG, COMBAT AND
DETERRENT FORCE
The
Navy, with its forces, controls the territorial waters.
These forces can rapidly change their positions and shift their operations far
from the shore, preventing the enemy surface ships and submarines to exploit
their striking power and gain superiority of the Niverian sea. The surface ships with
their armament and weapons systems for surface, antisubmarine and air defense
combat operations are significant naval forces that, in cooperation with the
coastal defense systems, have a deterring effect on a potential aggressor.
The
primary mission
of the naval forces is to conduct amphibious operations and combat operations at sea and on inland navigable routes. They defend
water surfaces, deny the enemy superiority at sea and along inland navigable
routes, prevent the enemy from using the area for their combat operations and
support the Army in their operations along the coast and inland
navigable routes.
Beside fleet forces, the Navy has coastal defense
forces, dominated by mobile defense artillery systems and reliable
systems for protection of naval bases against sea and air attacks.
The role of mines, submarines and underwater demolition teams is basically
the
same, but the way of their employment has been brought into accord with modern
tactical requirements. The present level of development of these naval weapons
and organization is a guarantee of successful accomplishment of the assigned
missions.
The support to the Army on the coastal wing and in the area of inland navigable
rivers and canals imposes
the development of the Navy and its capabilities toward the improvement of the
naval landing component and more intensive drill of the procedures in conducting
such operations. Those would be maneuver forces for rapid interventions in the
friendly area and for assault landing operations. The essential change in naval
strategy refers to further integration of the operations of fleet and coastal
defense forces, from the level of independent tactical operations to the most
complicated combat operations the Navy, as a major service, can conduct.
The technical means at the disposal of the Royal Navy keep abreast of the
latest systems in the world. Their efficiency is being constantly improved by
updating of the vital weapons systems mounted on surface ships and submarines.
With the available combat vessels, facilities and systems, the navy can
accomplish its missions and defend our waters, shores, inland navigable routes
and lakes. In cooperation with the Army, the Air Force and the Air Defense, it
can defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the United Kingdom
of Cruiswieck, protect her interests and rights on the
Niverian Sea and the inland
navigable routes and defend the boundaries of our waters.
