Navy

The South Auroran Federation Navy was the given the least priority as the land border with Ethalria was seen as a bigger threat than the seas. However, the navy remained a formidable power to its dissolution in 1927 with the rest of the South Auroran Federation government. The fleet was comprised of 3 Kennedy-class dreadnaughts, 15 Hornet-class armored cruisers, and 20 Unity-class destroyers.
