Welcome to the Prizyetsi navy "megathread", for lack of a better word...
(Map of the Darklands Region. Prizyetsa is marked in dark-green)
Prizyetsa is a nation in the fictional universe of the Darklands Region on Nation Sates. For centuries, Prizyetsa has prided itself in the strength of it's navy. This pride is rightfully so, as in the Belkar war, in the eighteenth century, the Prizyetsi fleet all but destroyed the opposing forces in what is now called the "Three Day Battle", in which the Prizyetsi navy sunk well over half of the enemy fleet while taking few cassualties itself.
In more modern times, the Prizyetsi navy has maintained its important role in the Prizyetsi military structure, as the navy commands all offensive forces in what is called the Naval Infantry Corps. Untill recently, the navy was also responsible for all logistical support, however due to the tediousness of naval transport, this role has now been passed on to the Prizyetsi Air Guard.
The Prizyetsi navy is structured into several fleets, each based in a different port city, and each with different strengths and weaknesses, however these weaknesses are covered by the other fleets. In total, there are 7 fleets, with an additional 9 submarine squadrons of 3-5 submarines, on of which is a SLBM capable squadron based in the far north district, which operate free from the command structure of the fleets, allowing for a degree of flexibility. This has proved to be an invalluable command structure, allowing the submarines to engage in comerce raiding and hunter-killer operations, while leaving the fleet to operate in other areas or theatres, or simply to spread the enemy forces out enough to employ a "divide and conquer" aproach.
Currently, there are a number of ship classes which are in service with the Prizyetsi navy.
