The Earth Navy is the naval warfare force of the Earth Kingdom which, together with the Earth Army, makes up the military of the Earth Kingdom. With 14 warships in active service, all stoneclads, the Earth Navy is the most powerful navy in the world and possesses the largest fleet by both number of ships and tonnage. The Earth Navy is responsible for defending the shores of the Earth Kingdom from all internal and external threats, protecting the shipping of the Earth Kingdom and her allies, and projecting the Kingdom's power beyond its borders. Beyond these traditional naval functions, the Earth Navy also operates the Earth King's yacht, the Andorra, and maintains an elite special forces unit, the Metalbender Marine Corps.

The Earth Navy is administratively organized into two fleets, the Home Fleet and Northern Fleet, each with its own distinct geographic area of operation. Like the Army, the Earth Navy answers directly to the Earth King and is not accountable to the civilian government of the Earth Kingdom. Due to this structure, the military has been accused by observers of having undue influence and power in the Earth Kingdom at the expense of the government and nobility.

Established in January 2021, the Earth Navy was the second navy to introduce stoneclads and the first all-stoneclad fleet in the world. The fleet quickly grew to include a variety of powerful warships that incorporate novel cutting-edge technologies such as armed airskiffs, ship-launched aircraft, turrets, wireless redstone, remote-controlled equipment and TNT cannons. Today, the Earth Navy is a modern blue-water navy with a presence in three seas.

History

Organization

Fleets

Home Fleet

The Home Fleet of the Earth Navy is the older and larger of the two fleets with a primary area of operation covering the Central and Southern Seas, including the Grand Canal. It is headquartered at Fort Kyoshi, but maintains docks and other facilities at Ba Sing Se, the Canal Zone and Cranefish Town. The fleet is commanded by Vice Admiral Wong Seetai and comprises 1 aircraft carrier, 3 destroyers, 2 frigates and 5 torpedo boats.

Northern Fleet

The Northern Fleet of the Earth Navy is the fleet with primary operational responsibility for the Western and Northern Seas, including the Northern Canal. It is headquartered at Fort Bosco but also maintains facilities at Peigong in the Northern Frontier Administration. The fleet is commanded by Vice Admiral Wing Anting and comprises 1 battlecruiser and 2 frigates.

Naval aviation

The Earth Navy maintains aerial warfare capabilities through its naval aviation branch which operates from the fleet's two aircraft-carrying warships, the aircraft carrier ENS Kyoshi and the battlecruiser ENS Freeport Bay. The naval aviation branch is organized into three squadrons, all of which operate the F-1/NG Bosco Naval Interdictor. The squadrons are:

  • No. 1 Naval (Fighter) Air Squadron, ENS Kyoshi, Home Fleet (3x F-1/NG)
  • No. 2 Naval (Fighter) Air Squadron, ENS Kyoshi, Home Fleet (3x F-1/NG)
  • No. 3 Naval (Provisional) (Fighter) Air Squadron, ENS Freeport Bay, Northern Fleet (1x F-1/NG)

Metalbender Marine Corps

The Metalbender Marine Corps is the marine infantry branch of the Earth Navy and the elite special forces unit of the Earth Kingdom. Made up exclusively of metalbenders, the regiment-sized unit deploys with naval warships and receives special training for amphibious assault, naval boarding, infiltration and clandestine operations. Metalbender marines make use of metal cables and other advanced bending techniques for movement and combat, allowing them to act as a highly mobile and lethal light infantry unit. Members of the unit regularly embark on naval vessels to defend against enemy boarding and provide an anti-submarine capability.

The Metalbender Marine Corps' equivalent in the Earth Army is the Airborne Regiment.
