	In the opening days of the war, a whistleblower in the Sahren high command informed the Zokeisan Air Force some fifty advanced fighter jets were going to be sent in secret to support Arcadia, to test them in battle following their production. Sahr already had volunteers fighting against Arcadia, and the reasons for this defection were unclear; but the reaction from the air force was timely and swift. Sixty Zokesian jets from 3rd and 4th Air Wings - made up of Z-80s, Kaminaris, and F-52 Kargadans, took off from Schrschnell as the Sahren force assembled to fly east. Slashing into the formations, the zokesians downed nearly every single jet to a man, while suffering only five losses of their own. The Sahren government objected and claimed Zokesia violated their airspace, but the international community turned away from Sahr when it was revealed they were sending said fighters to fight the "evil in our time" - The arcadians.

	With the breakdown of Gaxinia leaving a vacumn of power in the southern Forseti, the nation of Gallante began attempting to exert control over the Nautilus Strait, claiming birthright over the island. When the nations of Zokesia, Eloheim, Orion, and Phoenia voiced objection to Nautilus' integration, Gallante launched a naval invasion which kicked off a four year war. The nations of the Nautilus Security Coalition pushed back the Gallante landings through airstrikes and naval gunfire in 2130. By 2131, the Gallans were kicked completely out of Castana and a naval blockade was established surrounding the nation. The Zokesian Navy, allready expanding at the time of war, exploded threefold in size, and by 2133 had the largest surface fleet on Kerbin. Naval invasions in the southern provinces were initiated by Orion and Phoenia, supported by Zokesian and Eloheim aircraft which fought bloody SEAD missions to rid the mainland of its dense missile batteries. Over 100 Zokesian fighters were lost, but the move forced Gallante off the southern half of the peninsula and peace was finally struck, ending the war in favorable terms to Nautilus and the Security Coalition.[[File:MOSHED-2021-7-30-22-14-26.jpg\|thumb\|Z-80Es down Sahren jets over Bastia, 2147.]]		With the breakdown of Gaxinia leaving a vacumn of power in the southern Forseti, the nation of Gallante began attempting to exert control over the Nautilus Strait, claiming birthright over the island.

		+	At 00:45 the night of February 12th, 2148, the combined forces of Zokesia, Laveska, and Imperial United Front launched Operation Carloinas, a mission to strike at the island of North Point, Arcadia. The operation was launched primarily from Sur-Krakain, with support from the Combined Fleet, consisting of Belkan, Laveskan, and Phoenian naval assets.

	As the Combined Fleet set sail to hunt down the Arkadii-Soyuz task force, the northern fleet left harbor and sailed for two days before splitting off into two groups - the [[ZNS_Emperor_Zeroth_(CVN-21)\|CV-21 Emperor Zeroth]] and the CV-04 (UIF) Fort Grace rendezvousing directly north of the island, with an escort force of four Laveskan destroyers. The rest of the fleet turned south, a combined force of eight Laveskan destroyers, four Zokesian battleships, and thirty-two Heavy Landing Craft, with the Zokeisan 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions aboard, the 3rd Marine Support Division, the 12th SS. Grailjungend, 14th SS. Belasrien, 17th SS. "Morado" Nautilen, and 19th SS. Arkerien - 180 Main Battle Tanks and 75 Support Units in all. To the South of the invasion fleet, the 1st Belkan Fleet shoots the gap of North Point and Arcadia main, acting as a quick reaction force should large-scale fleet action occur in response to the landings. Stationed just 40km from the landing site, the 1st Belkan Fleet will respond to any surface engagement the convoy should come under, and prevent reinforcement of naval assets to harass the landing force once it arrives onshore. As the force began bearing down on the island, the destroyers took up flank positions port and starboard, in line astern, and the Zokesian battleships in turn made another line astern on the starboard side of the landing force. Steaming due south, the four lines went - destroyer, battleship, landing craft, destroyer. These were the most dangerous times for the force as detection meant a surface engagement before the landing craft were in their final run-in ashore. Above them, a dozen anti-ship Kargadans from the carriers were on station, as well as another dozen on combat air patrol.[[File:MOSHED-2021-8-1-0-20-50.jpg\|thumb\|302x302px\|Operation Carolinas battleplan]]Unbeknownst to the Arcadians, the operation may well have been detected earlier - but from out of orbit, the Munar Marines dropped from orbit like fiery angels onto the rocky mountains in the northwest of the island, where a key long-range radar site overlooking the Tau sea was built. Taking the radar dish was their priority, as it would leave Arcadia blind to incoming threats, as the island blocked the mainland's early warning radar from the northwest sector of ocean. The marines landed under sporadic ground fire and managed to secure the radar site, but the defenses of the island were alerted and surprise had been lost. Now, Arcadian high command knew there was a threat on North Point and was ready to respond, early warning radar or not. Upon landing on North Point the UIF Marines were immediately engaged in a heavy battle with the island's defenders. Their primary mission, the radar tower overlooking the Tau Sea, had been eliminated after several hours of fighting, and now the task was upon them to head south and attempt to take the hard surface of NAS Stihland, the largest runway in 100km, situated in the southern part of North Point. Fighting their way through was hard going, and they would not make it without the reinforcement by sea.[[File:MOSHED-2021-8-1-15-54-42.jpg\|thumb\|302x302px\|Zokesian Battleships ''Kerffinger'' and ''Rommel'' bombard shore batteries in North Point. ''Kerffinger'' would not survive the battle, sinking just offshore at a lost of nearly 1100 men.]]Zokesian Fighters launched decisive strikes on Arcadian ships eliminating the threat to landing. The battle of North Point saw Zokesian and Stahlsieg tanks along with UIF Space Marines destroy all resistance on the island, backed up by a decisive battle in the air which became known as the "Great North Point Turkey Shoot." Zokesian and UIF aircraft then proceeded to hunt and destroy the remaining Arcadian fleets south of North Point in the 2nd Naval Battle of North Point, and the battleships "Rommel", "Kercia", and "Osyrus" engaged the remaining Natalia-class battleships, sinking three at the loss of three Laveskan destroyers. In 180 air-to-ground and 140 air-to-air sorties, Zokesian and UIF fighters had accounted for four battleships, 110 torpedo boats, ten OPVs, an arkadii-soyuz carrier, and over 110 Arcadian fighters. they had suffered just 20 fighters lost in the process. North Point was securely in UIF hands once again and the pride of the Arcadian navy had been broken. The Zokesians had lost one battleship and one damaged, and the Laveskans had lost three destroyers.

	The Zokesia Navy began as a four Transport barges for naval-based land invasion. To protect the transports, a dozen Escort ships bolstered the fleet and allowed defensive operations around Zokesia's coasts. For much of the 21st century, the Zokesian Navy suffered from lack of budget for surface ships, and its greatest strength was fleet carriers with which to project power to far reaches of the globe.

	The most famous action in recent history by the Zokesian Royal Navy took place in 2148, when ''Emperor Zeroth'' and the combined fleet took North Point from Arcadia during the Reclamation war. In 180 air-to-ground and 140 air-to-air sorties, Zokesian and UIF naval aviators had accounted for four battleships, 110 torpedo boats, ten OPVs, an arkadii-soyuz carrier, and over 110 Arcadian fighters. they had suffered just 20 fighters lost in the process. The battleships saw open combat against equal Arcadian vessels, sending 4 to the bottom and scattering the enemy. It was the first time the Zokesian Navy had entered a surface engagement of battleships since the founding of the nations in 2057, and they came out on top.

−	The Zokesian Royal Navy is comprised of 8 battleships, 2 fleet carriers, 12 guided missile destroyers, 7 submarine chasers, 3 submarines, and 8 transports, which are usually in the custody of the Zokesian Marine Corps. The Zokesian Naval Aviation is made up of 20 fighter and 4 support squadrons, with 120 K-52C Kargadan and 80 Kaminari aircraft. The support squadrons, being 21st and 22nd VBQ, operate 10 Z-5 Medium bombers each, and are tasked with anti-ship and strategic operations, while the final two squadrons operate MZ-22 transport aircraft and EF-4 Skyshield AWACS, for command and control of naval territory and aircraft direction.	+	The Zokesian Royal Navy is comprised of 8 battleships, 2 fleet carriers, 12 guided missile destroyers, 7 submarine chasers, 3 submarines, and 8 transports, which are usually in the custody of the Zokesian Marine Corps.

−	The Blue Lions, formally named the Zokesian Royal Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, are a flight demonstration squadron of the Zokesian Royal Navy. Formed in 2083, the unit is the oldest formal aerobatic team in the world. The team has six Navy and one Zokesian Marine Corps demonstration pilots. They fly the [[Cyten-Ward Industries\|Cyten-Ward]] F-81 Bogger and the [[C-24 Mastodon]].[[File:ZokeScreenshot12920.png\|thumb\|Blue Lions Formation over NAS Fournloke, Chikushinal]]The Blue Lions typically perform aerial displays in at least 60 shows annually at 30 locations throughout the [[Arcovii-Zokesia\|Confederacy]] and two shows at one location in the [[UIF]]. The "Lions" still employ many of the same practices and techniques used in the inaugural 2083 season. An estimated 11 million spectators view the squadron during air shows from March through November each year. Members of the Blue Lions team also visit more than 50,000 people in schools, hospitals, and community functions at air show cities. Since 2083, the Blue Lions have flown for more than 505 million spectators.	+	The [[Blue Lions]], formally named the Zokesian Royal Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, are a flight demonstration squadron of the Zokesian Royal Navy.
