== History ==
The earliest form of organized navy in
When Avantana began to conquer the coastal states in the 13th century, it became apparent that it needed to find a way to counter the strong naval capabilities of Pinoa. An eventual solution was reached in the form of a strong core of biremes, triremes, and galleasses which would be proceeded by a multitude of cheaply constructed fire ships. This tactic was effective against the Pinoan navies, which were slow to maneuver. The Battle of
These ideals of local defense and compartmentalization were carried over to the much more organized navy of the Kingdom of

=== 20th and 21st centuries ===
In the early 20th century, the Armada lagged substantially behind the world in terms of modernizing their ships. During the [[Great War|Great War,]]
Montero Julio's death in 1912 allowed his son King Sebastián I to work towards bringing the Armada and other military branches to some semblance of parity with international standards. The Corric treasury was heavily subsidized in this period by the loans it negotiated during the war starting to be paid back. Motivated by his service in the Armada during his early adulthood, Sebastián I gave it the lion's share of funding. Between 1913 and 1920, more than
Benito Ares sponsored a number of ships during the 1950s and 60s, as it was his earnest desire that the Corric naval power be a match for any other regional force. This period saw the first Corric forays into advanced radar, guided missiles, and computerized fire control. The technology was not developed in Casilló y Réal at this point, necessitating expensive study programs and import deals that severely limited the number of ships capable of using such components. The Armada shrunk from 60 major surface combatants in 1950 to 25 in 1960. Attempts to make up for the losses were made with the ''Rége Felipé'' class frigates, ''Princesa Mariangel'' class corvettes, and the ''Gracia'' class helicopter cruisers. Various issues made the smaller ships obsolete within two years of commissioning them, while their designs meant they could not be overhauled accordingly without serious budget debt. This stalled further Armada expansion, and by 1975 the fleet consisted of around 30 major surface combatants, 35 patrol ships, and around a dozen auxiliaries of various types.
The
Benito Ares, expressing to his Royal Cabinet his reluctance to have his son harmed, attempted to negotiate with Prince Astolfo in person at Armada Porto Francisco. The prince saw the King's arrival in the ARC ''Gracia de Régne'' as a threat, and so boarded the ''Rége Felipé'' class ''Hernando de Numia'' in order to respond from a similar position of force. Reports of the negotiations via radio vary on some details, but most agree that the Prince, becoming increasingly desperate and unhinged, threatened a missile strike from the frigate on the civilian portion of the port. This ultimately led to the infamous "Battle of Porto Francisco" in which the ''Hernando de Numia'' was destroyed by the larger cruiser, gaining the ''Gracia'' the nickname 'The Bloody Lady.' After the prince's supporters were dealt with, all naval squadrons that had supported him had their ships stripped from the Roll of Ships and interred in drydock. The crew's broken oaths of service had, in the view of the General Staff, stained these vessels irrevocably, and they would not be allowed back into service unless a situation would arrive where their honor could be restored.
In 2013, the Armada initiated a contract with Arsenale Corric to build six new [[Amity class|''Amity'' class]] offshore patrol vessels to replace ageing ships. The ''Amity'' class were the result of a joint project by the [[Conference for Amity and Cooperation]]. The Armada received the first ship, the ARC ''Amity'', in 2015 after minor redesigns. The ARC ''Affinity'' was commissioned in 2021, coinciding with the decommissioning process for the ''Garra'' class patrol ships.
In late 2021, the Armada sold off its landing craft to [[Älemsi Negdel]] and several private buyers. This coincided with the closure of the Office of Amphibious Operations due to studies finding its budget to be the most wasteful of all Defense Force departments. Notably the OAO, while functional and full-staffed, had no strategic place in Corric naval doctrine due to its small size, few blue-water vessels, and the Corric focus on defense rather than global operational reach. The funds gained from the sale of the ships were put towards modernizing several existing vessels as well as purchasing new fighter jets for the Royal Corric Air Cavalry. The personnel formerly part of the OAO were assigned to marine detachments, shore patrol, and strategic think tanks to use their expertise in amphibious operations to devise tactics against them.
In 2022, the Armada was renamed along with other government entities to reflect the nation assuming the name of Antora. As part of the shift in defense policies after the Astolfo Papers were released, the Antoran military entered into cooperation with other CAC nations to produce a more modern and compact defense force. The Varentine League assisted with designing and building new ships for the Armada in record time, with many entering service mid-April of 2022 in what has been termed "The Great Commissioning." Older ships have been put into reserve to be sold or scrapped. Notably, the ''Gracia de Regne'' was retired after 50 years in service, being replaced as flagship by the ARC ''Antora''.
The Armada opted to retain its two destroyers and helicopter carrier as part of the defensive structure of INTRA. Alliance doctrine holds that Antora is the right flank of any naval action, acting as a buffer between the greater Concordian Ocean and the coastlines of Mirhaime and Sarvimaa. Armada ships are permitted to dock at and utilize military facilities of the other alliance members.
