The Questarian Royal Navy

The Questarian Royal Navy is the largest branch of the Questarian Armed Forces, and also the best funded. The QRN performs many tasks throughout the Commonwealth, and is essential in public morale and securing the assets and futures of the United Kingdom. The QRN is widely recognised as one of the most powerful navies in the world, and although it has recently suffered a defeat at Gibraltar against MassPwnage and Banduria, public support for the Royal Navy, and military funding in general, has never been higher.

Designations and Doctrine

Ship Designations

The QRN pretty much follows NATO designations, but I will list what we class as what sort of ship here.

Frigate (FFGN) A Frigate must be at least 70m in length, and must at least weigh 1,500 tons. It must at least have a 3"/76mm gun and six ASuMs, at least one helicopter, and at least 20 SAMs.

Missile Destroyer (DDGN) A Destroyer must be at least 140m in length, and must at least weigh 4,500 tons. It must at least have a 4"/ 100 mm gun and thirty ASuMs to be classed, at least one helicopter and at least thirty SAMs.

Picket Destroyer DDRN) A Destroyer must be at least 170m in length, and must at least weigh 7,500 tons. It must at least have a 4"/ 100 mm gun and twenty missiles. The DDRN must have extensive OTH RADAR systems and powerful electronics.

Combat Minehunter DDMN A Destroyer must be at least 140m in length, and must at least weigh 4,500 tons. It must at least have a 4"/ 100 mm gun and twenty missiles. The DDMN must have extensive minehunting and laying systems and at least sixty mines.

Doctrine

Atlantic

The QRN operates a dynamic order of battle. There are eighteen Battlegroups, and each Battlegroup operates off a different port (although not neccessarily different cities)- four abroad and fourteen at home. In small cases, forces may be detached from a Battlegroup and some will stay at home: in operations that warrant large force, the entire group will be deployed.
