Royal Antoran Armada

The Royal Corric Armada (Corric: Armada de Corric Réal, abbreviated ACR) is the maritime force of the Royal Corric Defense Forces. The Armada was first established in 1710, as the First Constitution of the Kingdom of Corrí called for the crown and government to maintain a professional naval force to defend Corric Shipping. What had previously been the independent fleets of nobles and merchants were consolidated, refitted, and organized into the Royal Corric Armada. The fleets of ships were slowly modernized, until after the Great War, which saw much of the steam-and-sail armored ships of the Armada quickly replaced with contemporary technology.

The Armada was briefly subject to a schism in the 1979 Corric Succession Crisis. Those squadrons that rebelled were removed from the Armada Service Rolls and their vessels mothballed to excise the stain of their dishonor. The mission statement of the Armada is to defend the coastal territory and oceanic economic zones of Casilló y Réal from foreign threats, to protect state-sponsored shipping abroad, and to prevent waterborne crime. As of 2021 the Armada maintains a strength of 110,890 personnel, 174 watercraft, and seven shore installations.

Organization

The Royal Corric Armada is headed by the Chief Admiral of the Armada, an appointed position on the General Staff. The current C.A.A. is Teodoro Maro Guadanala, who held the rank of Vice Admiral before his appointment. Directly under the C.A.A. is the Board of Admirals, a seven-person panel. The Admiral of the Fleets and head of the Board is currently Asier Durán. The Board manages the divisions of the Armada, including Deployment Fleets, Logistics, Administration, and Legal.
