The Imperial Navy (IN) is Great Morstaybishlia's naval warfare force. Although warships were used by the Staynish and Caltharusian kings from the early medieval period, the first major maritime engagements were fought in the the Union of the Thrones. 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 Kormistazic Navy, the Ethalrian Navy and later with the 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.
It's frequent conflicts around the globe has entitled Morstaybishlia to keep its naval spending higher than other branches of the RAFOTE. It's retention of 17 colonies over five continents, as well as strategic and longstanding allies such as Kuthernburg, Meridia and Lunaria allows Great Morstaybishlia to maintain military bases and garrisons around the globe.
The Imperial Navy maintains a fleet of technologically sophisticated ships, submarines, and aircraft, including fourteen aircraft carriers, two amphibious assault docks, 15 ballistic missile submarines (which maintains the MBE's nuclear superiority), 44 nuclear fleet submarines, 6 guided missile cruisers, 57 guided missile destroyers, 55 frigates, 25 patrol boats and 11 mine countermeasures, plus 27 ships of the Imperial Fleet Auxiliary (IFA); the IFA replenishes Imperial Navy warships at sea.
