Gretian Imperial Navy

The Tripartite Imperial Navy, or the Iron Fleet, is the naval branch of the Triple Crowns' Military
In 192KOR, an Ironclad scout ship encountered and almost sunk the HMS Deering in the Far West on an exploratory mission to find the route Sir Badger used to find the new world, the encounter is considered a fluke, in all further expeditions no vessels were sighted, indicating the Empire does not control land in the west. Rumors spread by traders and nomads indicate the fleet's daunting power, and the reluctance of her owners to share their technology.
The Gretian Navy, lead by Admiral Leslie Shawnasee, invaded the Empire of Kordowyn in retribution for the Battle of Iksis in 242KOR. Despite initial successes, the war stalled due to poor navigation charts and hostile waters, effectively grounding the fleet in the Western Reach. A relief force under Alerax Dondarron failed to capture Fearna in 243, and the HMIV Empress Elizabeth was destroyed by sabotage shortly after.
The failure in the North and continuous losses to the Lirrachan Republic at home weakened the Imperial Fleet and Imperial Morale. After the Disaster of '92, increasing tension between the civilian government and the military backed Prime Minister, Hiram Borman sparked the Second Gretian Civil War, concurrent with the Third Pandrosi War. Admiral Dondarron defected to Sidonia and the navy fought itself for a large portion of the war.
Despite huge losses by 250KOR, the War Office reported a rebound and increase in technological prowess by 259KOR. Lord High Admiral Alerax Dondarron was invested as Commander in Chief in a ceremony in June, 259.
