The Royal Navy of Great Britain & Ireland is the naval forces of the British Empire. It is the largest and strongest navy in the world, with the next following (French) unable to match the size and prowess of the British Navy. The Royal Navy has been a conquering force, a peace-keeping tool, and a path-finder to many strange new lands. Always serving the Empire, the Royal Navy has rarely tasted defeat in it's long-lasting life. If you should ever find yourself aboard a vessel that is an enemy to the British Empire, you would do best to pray to whatever god you have.

The Board of Admiralty[]

The Board of Admiralty is a group of admirals/former admirals who are, simply put, in-charge of the Navy and it's affairs (under restrictions laid down by the government, of course). The members of the Board of Admiralty are war-hardened veterans, and do not back down from fights. 

First Lord of the Admiralty[]

The First Lord of the Admiralty is the chairman of the Board of Admiralty.

The role was previously held by Lord Nathaniel Garland, commonly known as Sven Daggersteel, and Sir Maxamillion Beckett, war heroes of the Paradoxian Wars who are credited with being the architects behind the Royal Navy in POTCO and TLOPO, respectively. 

Royal Marines[]

The Royal Marines are a branch of the Royal Navy that are specially trained to fight on land, or during a boarding. They were reinstated in early 1745 by Johnathan Francis Anthony O'Reilly.
