Ganchelkean Imperial Navy

The Ganchelkean Imperial Navy (GIN) is the branch of the Ganchelkean Imperial Armed Forces responsible for conducting naval operations. It consists of a full range of vessels, from patrol boats to guided missile frigates, nuclear aircraft carriers and strategic missile submarines.

The Ganchelkean Imperial Navy is organised in eight branches:

• Naval Surface Action Force (organised in fifteen Fleets, of which the largest is the the Ganchelkean Imperial Northern Fleet)
• Submarine Service
• Mine Detection and Clearing Service
• Oceanographical Survey Service
• Fleet Auxiliary Service
• Naval Air Service (ground and sea-based planes and helicopters)
• Naval Fusiliers (ground forces used to secure naval installations)
• Imperial Naval Reserve

Note: the Ganchelkean Imperial Marine Corps is not a part of the Ganchelkean Imperial Navy, but for administrative purposes falls under the Department of the Navy of the Department for National Defence.
