Manhattan Prime has traditionally fielded a very small navy and its naval technology and port facilities are quite backward. It has relied on more advanced allied nations for its military technology. Until quite recently the Navy consisted of little more than 10 Patrol Boats and 2 Frigates, all built in [[Leafanistan]], and the navy was kept on a tight budget. The navy’s main focus then was anti-smuggling missions.
