The '''Imperial Navy''' ('''IN''') is [[Great Morstaybishlia]]'s naval warfare force. Although warships were used by the Staynish and CaltharusianKaltariz kings from the early medieval period, the first major maritime engagements were fought in the the [[BattleKaltariz forCivil Caltharus 1515|Union of the ThronesWar]]. The modern Imperial Navy traces its origins to the late 16th century; it the oldest of the MBE's armed services.
 
From the middle decades of the 17th century, and through the 18th century, the Imperial Navy vied with the [[Kormistazm|Kormistazic]] Navy, the [[Ethalria|Ethalrian]] Navy and later with the [[Salovia|Salovian]] Navy for maritime supremacy. From the mid 18th century, it was one of, if not the world's most powerful navy. The Imperial Navy played a key part in establishing the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] as the unmatched world power during the 19th and first part of the 20th centuries. Due to this historical prominence, it is common, even among non-Morsts, to refer to it as "the Imperial Navy" without qualification.

====Destroyers====
Destroyers are multi-mission medium surface ships capable of sustained performance in anti-air, anti-submarine, anti-ship, and offensive strike operations. Like cruisers, guided missile destroyers are primarily focused on surface strikes using Tomahawk missiles and fleet defense through Kegis and the Standard missile. Destroyers additionally specialize in anti-submarine warfare and are equipped with VLA rockets and AH-1 Vipers to deal with underwater threats. When deployed with a carrier strike group or expeditionary strike group, destroyers and their fellow Kegis-equipped cruisers are primarily tasked with defending the fleet while providing secondary strike capabilities. With very few exceptions, destroyers are named after citiesprovinces.
 
====Frigates and Littoral combat ships====

Modern Morstaybishlian frigates mainly perform anti-submarine warfare for carrier and expeditionary strike groups and provide armed escort for supply convoys and merchant shipping. They are designed to protect friendly ships against hostile submarines in low to medium threat environments, using torpedoes and helicopters. Independently, frigates are able to conduct counter-drug missions and other maritime interception operations. As in the case of destroyers, frigates are named after cities.
