History
###
Organization
The Royal Zalkentian Navy has multiple different organizations under it. Procurement of aircraft and ships is handled by the Naval Ordinance Bureau. However, with regards to combat services, there are three within the Navy. These branches are the Royal Zalkentian Fleet Air Force, the Royal Zalkentian Fleet Surface Fleet, and the Royal Zalkentian Fleet Submarine Arm.
Royal Zalkentian Fleet Air Force
The Royal Zalkentian Fleet Air Force is a relatively new development for the Navy, as a carrier was not considered until the year 2198 due to the cost of operation. The Fleet Air Force (FAF) is primarily comprised of volunteers from the Royal Zalkentian Air Corps (RZAC), which is reflected by the equipment that is utilized. The aircraft that are used in the FAF primarily consists of modified RZAC land-based aircraft, such as the Tenrai Model 72 and LAC Type 11 Invicta. The decision to do this was to reduce the training costs for the pilots in the FAF, while still providing capable airframes and pilots to the Navy. Production of the RZN-RZAC jointly developed Tenrai SF-1 has slowly begun to ramp up in recent years, which has led to these aircraft being integrated into the FAF, slowly phasing out the Invicta. Invicta airframes have slowly ended up in the hands of the RZAC, with some ending up as combat trainers for the FAF.
###
The Royal Zalkentian Navy Submarine Arm is one of the combat organizations within the Royal Zalkentian Navy, and is a core part of the naval operations. Established in 2190, the Submarine Arm was initially tasked with Anti-Submarine R&D, along with naval intelligence and counter-intelligence. However, after the Type 271 Submarine was developed, the role of the service changed to become an active combat force. The Submarine Arm currently operates 7 vessels, but this number is planned to increase to 15 as part of the New Navy Plan (NNP), with potentially more hulls being produced after the first 15 are finished.
Doctrine
The Royal Zalkentian Navy Submarine Arm has a doctrine centered around multi-role capabilities, like the Surface Fleet, and emphasizes the importance of the Chain of Command and Operational Initiative. Submarine commanders are encouraged to operate within mission parameters by relying on their own instinct in the moment, which helps to prevent operational stiffness and complete dependence on orders from Submarine Command. However, this doctrinal decision has the unwanted side effect of encouraging glory hunting, so commanders are trained to weigh their current situation against their desire to be labelled as a "war hero". Two of the main roles that the Submarine Arm is trained in is the disruption of surface vessels and an active hunter-killer role against both submarines and surface ships.
