The Armada was briefly subject to a schism in the 1985 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
== History ==
Line 54:
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 Porta Tranquíla was an Avantanan victory, where their fire ships caused chaos among the different Pinoan formations. What ships were not burned were captured and converted to the Avantanan Armada. This force remained small, and much like the Pinoan system would take a large amount of wartime power from mercantile vessels. However, all noble houses that had the means in Avantana, and later the Kingdom of Casilló, were required to maintain a fleet of warships. This allowed the crown to assemble a professional naval force in emergencies and the nobility to proactively defend their shipping and territory.
These ideals of local defense and compartmentalization were carried over to the much more organized navy of the Kingdom of

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 forty ships were laid down, and twenty more purchased from [[Aivintis]]. While the eventual progress of technology led most of these to be scrapped by the 40s, the size and capabilities of the Armada would steadily increase under Sebastián I and his son, King Benito Ares. Notably, several accidents and breakdowns plagued attempts at the Armada to put submarines into service, and so such vessels were excised from naval doctrine.
Line 80:
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 Andora.
