Bureaucratic States Aggregated Navy
The Bureaucratic States Aggregated Navy (BSAN) -- also known simply as the Aggregated Navy -- acts as Oglethorpia's naval presence both in the country's territorial waters and abroad. With a personnel of 5.5 million, the Aggregated Navy is the largest division of the military by manpower, supporting some 3,900 ships and 52,000 aircraft.
Beginning as an informal application of old vessels used to settle Oglethorpia, augmented by other merchant ships, the Bureaucratic States Aggregated Navy has grown into a formidible modern armada with great presence.
In modern times, the Aggregated Navy serves a defensive purpose on Oglethorpia's northern coast facing the Tar Pin Sea, as well as along its south on the Brine Sea. In peacetime, command of the fleet falls to the Defense Bureau, while in wartime the Incumbency office serves as its commander(s).
Organization
Serving as its representative, the Cheif Primier of the Aggregated Navy reports to the Defense Bureau concerning the manpower, training and equipping needs of the fleet. Carrying out this massive task upon the Oglethorpian fleet is the Administrative Agency of the Aggregated Navy. The agency is also responsible for maintaining the readyness of the Aggregated Navy, and in general providing administrative and technical support as well as leadership.
Fleets
The units of the Oglethorpian Aggregated Navy are split up into four fleets. They are;
- Oglethorpian North Home Fleet -- based in Allergiers, patrolling the northern coast.
- Oglethorpian 1st South Home Fleet -- based in Polyesterhampton, patrolling the coasts off the Thumb Peninsula.
- Oglethorpian 2nd South Home Fleet -- also based in Polyesterhampton, in charge of the southwestern coast.
- Oglethorpian Reserve Home Fleet -- currently allocated as supplement to the other three fleets, organized in time of war.
While the Aggregated Navy's North Home Fleet, and 1st and 2nd Home Fleets are permanently organized, the Reserve Home Fleet exists only during wartimes, which has been nearly five decades now. Currently its assets are allocated to the other three existing fleets; were all the fleets assembled, they would contain 975 ships each.
