Republican Navy

The Republican Navy (RN) is Jonathia's naval warfare force. Although warships were used by the provinces from the early medieval period, the first major maritime engagements were fought in the Great War against Canadia. The modern Republican Navy traces its origins to the early 20th century; the oldest of Jonathia's armed services, it is known as the Senior Service.
From the 1930s, the Republican Navy vied with the Canadish Navy and later with the Reulese Navy for maritime supremacy. From the mid 20th century, it was the world's most powerful navy until the end of the Cold War. The Republican Navy played a key part in establishing Jonathia as a modern-day superpower. Due to this historical prominence, it is common, even among non-Jonathians, to refer to it as "the Republican Navy" without qualification.
