The Royal Navy

Marine

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.
