Ordrish Navy

The Ordrish Navy (: Mórfórsa Ordrais) is the maritime arm of the Ordrish Workers' Defense Forces. Dating back to 1644, it is one of the world's oldest naval forces. It has participated in a number of engagements around the globe and was an integral part of establishing and defending the Ordrish colonial empire.

The Ordrish Navy is comprised of five branches and various sub-branch services. This includes the Surface and Submarine Fleets, Naval Aviation, Ordrish Marines, and the Domestic Waters Defense Force.

At the time of the last Armed Services Audit in 2017, the Ordrish Navy employed 29,225 active-duty personnel, alongside a support staff of 2,450 civilians. Its reserve component consisted of 3,855 personnel in the Operational Reserves. A, the ON operates a large array of vessels both surface and submarine, including the  the Albes d'Manchec, alongside aeronaval forces, attack and ballistic missile submarines, frigates, patrol boats, and other smaller support vessels.

Ships and submarines
Ordrish formally calls for the presence of two, but at present it only has one in active service, the Albes d'Manchec. The second, the BAO-2 (currently unnamed) is in development with deployment scheduled for 2026 at the end of the current planning cycle.

As of the 2017 Armed Services Audit, the Ordrish Navy is composed of a total of 180 vessels. This includes:
 * One (the Albes d'Manchec)
 * Three (sometimes referred to as "pocket carriers")
 * Four
 * Twelve
 * Twenty-two
 * Twenty
 * Eighteen
 * Eight
 * Eight
 * Fifty-six auxilliary craft (includes tug, refueling, intelligence, surveying, experimental, training, and repair craft)
 * Twenty-eight (small) "situational patrol" vessels

The Ordrish Navy is unique in their usage of pocket carriers, which are designed to be able to deploy of multiple varieties in conjunction with traditional aircraft. This includes the capacity to deploy and recieve high-altitude stratocarrier dynastats for use in operations and reconnaissance. As a result, Ordrish pocket carriers have the ability to serve a multitude of roles in Ordrish maritime combat, from escort formations to amphibious troop deployments and offshore patrol. The ongoing MO2050 development program intends to have gain capabilities to utilize dynastats as well, as part of the "modular force" plan for the Ordrish Navy.

Aircraft
Ordrish Naval Aviation as a component of military strategy was originally devised in 1906 during the First World War, but entered its current form in 1954 prior to the outset of the Third World War. It is composed of three components: the Maritime Aerial Combat Service, Airship Fleet, and Combined Maritime Aerial Support Services. It has a strength of around 5,500 personnel operating from four naval airbases in Ordrey. It is currently in the process of modernizing its mainline jet fighter craft, transitioning to the use of the Pis-Cathoi. Thirty Razorjets are already in use, operating primarily from the Albes d'Manchec.
