The Fortunan Navy (Fortunan: Marina Fortunano, "Fortunan Navy"; abbreviated as MF) is the maritime force of the Fortunan Armed Forces. First formed in 1973 from combining what remained of the Emili Navy, Ancona Navy, and Toscani Navy following the end of the War of Aggression and the birth of the Fortunan Confederation. Following the Unitary Nationalist Party's takeover and the creation of the Second Fortunan Empire in 1999, the Fortunan Navy remained as Fortuna's maritime force and went through heavy modernization. As of 2017, the Fortunan Navy has a strength of 20,167 active personnel with approximately 94 vessels in service, including minor auxiliary vessels. Its primary role is to patrol Fortuna's territorial waters, maintain control of shipping lanes, defend against seaborne threats, and assisting the Empire in gaining control of surrounding islands.
