Imperial Navy of Camvonia

The Camvonian Imperial Navy, founded in 989, is one of the core
institutions of the country. The people of Camvonia take great pride in
their fleet, and constantly work to update and expand it. This fleet
helps protect and expand Camvonian and WTA interests around Noliterre,
and provides a vital link to the colonies. The Fleet has long been one of
 the most modern in the world. It was the first to adopt cannons in
1001, and it pioneered the "line of battle" tactic that dominated naval
warfare for many centuries. More recently, the navy has been among the
first to adopt steam power as standard throughout the fleet, and the
first to introduce steel ships. In addition, the navy has replaced
cannon with long-range, shell-firing naval guns.

## Ships

### Flagships:

Lead the fleet. usually the most impressive ships, there are only 3 in the entire navy.

### Battleships:

Most effective fighting tool. Staggeringly expensive to produce, they
are able to swat away smaller ships like nothing. When combined with air
 support, a fleet of 5 battleships could easily subdue a city with its
heavy guns and on board continents of marines. There are 16 in the Navy.

### Armored Cruisers:

Defensive ships, designed to soak up enemy hits and defend
strategic positions. While slow and ungainly in regular movement, they
are nearly impossible to destroy in a fight and pack enough punch to be a
 serious threat. There are 26 in the Navy.

### Battle-cruisers:

These
ships are designed to be a combination of the best aspects of
battleships and cruisers. With decent armor, excellent range and
powerful weaponry, they are basically scaled-down battleships. The Navy
loves them, and they are the most common "capital ship" in the fleet.
There are 41 on them total.

### Cruisers:

Designed to replace the
outdated frigate, cruisers have long range, decent guns, high speed and
almost no armor. They are very effective in naval battle against
slower-moving opponents, and a Camvonian cruiser detachment "visiting" a
 country has caused many a ruler to reconsider any funny ideas he might
be having. There are 56.

### Colonial Cruisers:

Colonial cruisers are
 designed for work far from refueling stations. They have relatively
light guns and armor, and  can go for nearly four thousand miles without
 having to refuel. They are usually unsuitable for fleet combat and only
 deployed against pirates, outdated navies, rebellious settlements and
the like. There are 41.

### Mine-layers:

Mine-layers do exactly what
the name suggests. They are expensive to produce and anyway the Navy
doesn't like mines and would rather see a new battleship built with the
money, so there are only 7.

## Fleet 1 (His Majesty's Own):

1 flagship
5 battleships
7 armored cruisers
17 battle-cruisers
22 cruisers
10 colonial cruisers
2 mine-layers

## Fleet 2 (Colonial fleet):

1 flagship
2 battleships
4 battle-cruisers
7 cruisers
31 colonial cruisers
1 mine-layer

## Fleet 3 (Imperial Battle-fleet):

1 flagship
9 battleships
19 armored cruisers
20 battle-cruisers
27 cruisers
4 mine-layers

His
 Majesty's Own is an elite reserve force that can be deployed pretty
much anywhere. The Colonial Fleet is for engagements in Iberia, and the
Battle-fleet is for engaging other fleets.
