Contents
Sea Power
The Commonwealth has always looked to the sea as its biggest asset. Surrounded on three sides by the Lasting Sea, the stability of the nation’s economy largely relies on its fishing and tourist industries. From a tactical perspective however, the warm shallow waters and open coastline make the nation extremely venerable. The Navy is therefore geared towards the defense of the nation’s coast and surrounding waters. The offensive capabilities of the force should not be overlooked however, as its offensive assets have helped make The Commonwealth a major player in the international politics of The Brave New World today.
Structure
Like any modern military force The Commonwealth Navy takes pride in its structure and discipline, without which it would not be able to maintain its high levels of efficiency and effectiveness in the operational theatre. From the lowest Rate to the Chief of Staff, the highly trained personnel of the Navy make up an integral part of The Commonwealth Armed Forces.
Chief of Staff
At the top of the command chain is the appointed Chief of Staff who is the overall commander of the Commonwealth Navy and maintains a seat on the Commonwealth Council. The Chief of Staff is ultimately responsible for the funding and continued progression of the force as a whole.
