New California Republic Navy

The New California Republic Navy (NCRN) is the naval force of the New California Republic. The NCRN is one of three service branches within the New California Republic Armed Forces.
==Background==
Alongside the New California Republic Air Force, the NCRN was established following the passing of the Bullhead Act by President Wendell Peterson in 2253, shortly after his election. The formation of the NCRN was poised to reinvigorate the faith the NCR citizens had in their armed forces following the massacre of 38 NCR citizens in the Mojave Wasteland. Utilizing the existing dockyard infrastructure, the NCRN established its headquarters in Dayglow at the now redubbed Naval Station Dayglow offering new jobs to the traditionally technically minded population of Dayglow to repair ships brought from down the pacific coast. However, due to military bases and other offence capable locations being prime targets during the Great War, the acquisition of naval vessels was exceedingly rare, with a majority of ships sequestered by the NCRN being former fishing vessels and private yachts which were retrofitted for combat purposes.
===Brotherhood War===
The Brotherhood War quickly diverted resources and staffing from both of the newly formed service branches due to the near entirety of the Brotherhood of Steel bases and outposts occupying a subterranean locale. Because of this, the NCRN was often relegated to supply missions along the Californian Coast, with the only significant offshore travels being to the California Channel Islands.
===Kimball Administration===
As a result of President Kimball's war hawkish nature, spending was increased to all New California Republic Armed Forces branches. The Kimball administration began to promote an expansionist mindset, including an increased focus on establishing extranational naval bases to expand the reach of the NCRN.
==Technology==
===Personal armaments===
The equipment used by the NCR Navy is identical to that issued to the NCR Army, however close-range weapons like shotguns and sub-machine guns are far rarer due to most engagements being ship to ship or ship to shore. As well, those assigned to a ship often forgo their breastplate armour while aboard and wear simple fatigues to reduce weight in case they go overboard.
