CORE Navy

"*Infantry, armor; artillery-we're all about guns, bigger guns, ships to carry even bigger guns, and aviation to support those guns and the Reds carrying them. We've never moved much beyond the model of the primacy of land forces; we've grown comfortable with the war: The time's coming when we'll need to work smarter; to develop aviation and maritime assets in their own right, and maybe even move onto the turf the intelligence community guards so jealously. We've got to be more flexible to be ready for whatever the future might throw at us. Because the next enemy may not think like us.*" - Commandant-Admiral Mikhael Lagunov

The Coatliton of Ordered Republiks of Etixnare Navy or NCORE or even Fleet, was the naval arm of the CORE Military. For a long while the navy lacked the necessary funding and attention it needed during the End War. It wasn't until just before Operation: Deliverance that due to the efforts of Mikhael Lagunov, and others that were able to convince the Defense Select Committee that the CORE Navy needed as much attention and provisions as the CORE Army. They were successful, and the Defense Select Committee provided efforts to get funding, attention, and supplies through various companies to the Navy. The CORE Navy was crucial during Operation: Deliverance, and made a significant diffference for the CORE's victory during the battle, and the rest of the war. After the End War, however, the navy was downsized and mostly used for logistics needs, and was largely forgotten. Once again, the CORE Navy was below the CORE Army, but it was still able to retain many vessels past fighting age and used them during the evacuation of St. McCarthy. Besides operating naval vessels, the Navy also operated SwordFish and War Moths to launch from their ships and their bases. The Navy also operated a Marine unit.

## History

### End War

The NCORE had Fast Attack Craft, Patrol Boats, Landing Craft, Carriers, Amphibious Assault Ships, Destroyers, and Submarines as a part of their naval forces. One of their fleets took part in Operation Deliverance during the height of the End War. Some of their main bases were Fesor Naval Base and Merrenat Naval Base. The NCORE also had special forces, such as the T-Flotilla which consisted of amphibious assault and special maritime units. The NCORE also had LCTs for amphibious assaults.

The NCORE was tasked with Operation: Fawcett, which would be expunged from all records due to the nature of the mission, and it's outcome, especially when compared to the success of Operation: Deliverance

### Extinction War

Since the Extinction War is a ground war and supplies go towards the Reds, the Navy was left too despaired but was able to keep fleet formations along with civilians ships. During the evacuation of St. McCarthy, the navy was commanded by Boris Miller, and headed to Port Farrall. After the city was deemed too inhospitable for the remnant of the CORE, Atlantropa was chosen as the new haven for the CORE and the navy transported the remaining human population.

## Uniforms

The dress uniforms for Fleet officers are Dark Blue tunics and garrison caps. On their right arm is a cuff title that has the name of their ship. When on duty, Fleet crewmen wear simple dark grey or black jumpsuits. In the event a Fleet officer sees combat on the surface, they wear BDUs (Battle Dress Uniform) similar to the Mobile Infantry's; the only difference is that the helmet and armor are Green and the chest plate has the Fleet badge.

The combat gear for regular enlisted Fleet members is a specially designed suit for amphibous and land operations known as the Hazardous Enviroment Suit or HES.
