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.

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.
