The Sedunnic Navy (Sedunnic: Sedunnō Seiftasstlē) is the naval warfare branch of the Sedunnic Armed Forces. Founded in 121 BC, it is one of the oldest continuously serving navies in the world and the second oldest branch of the Sedunnic Armed Forces after the army. It started as a coastal defence force and transformed into a global force during the age of discovery and age of sail. Through the 17th and 19th centuries it competed with traditional maritime powers such as Austral, Peonic and Karnetvorian among others for maritime supremacy, specialising in the protection of trade routes and escort. During the 20th century following the rapid spread of industrialisation, many other nations caught up on the traditional maritime powers, greatly expanding their navies. During the Great War, in which the Sedunnic Navy participated in numerous engagements, Sedunn still had among the largest navies in the world. However, during the latter half of the Cold War it was surpassed numerically by many navies. The modern Sedunnic Navy focuses on expeditionary warfare and is considered among the world's premier blue-water navies.
As of December 2023, the Sedunnic navy operates 75 commissioned ships, including 2 aircraft carriers, 6 amphibious warfare ships, 16 destroyers, 8 frigates, 12 corvettes, 4 ballistic missile submarines, 11 attack submarines, 2 submarine tenders, 9 patrol boats, 10 mine countermeasures vessels and 40 various auxiliary and support vessels. The current aircraft carrier class is among the world's largest naval vessels with a displacement of over 100,000 long tons. The Sedunnic navy maintains a fleet of about 86 VOT 14 S Hotvemm carrier-based fighters and about 177 other aircraft, of which many are carrier-based. The Navy provides sea lift for the Sedunnic Marine Corps. It is a part of Sedunn's nuclear triad, with its ballistic missile submarines and fighter aircraft maintaining a nuclear deterrent). The total personnel strength is about 70,000, of which are 54,000 active-duty, 11,000 are part-time, and 5,000 are in the ready reserve.
