Any countries with an established navy?

I got thinking this morning on a new character, and thought about what he might do, which is when the idea of a captain of a ship (not a pirate ship) came up... The only problem I have is that I have no idea which countries (if any) have an established navy, because while pirate ships are all well and good, I wanted a guy who sailed the seas working for the law instead of against it. Any help is appreciated. Also, by extension, what kind of ships would there be?

This is a very good question, and I would like to know as well!

I'm curious as well. x3 If I had to guess, maybe Connlaoth and Adela might? Connlaoth since the industry would dictate trade, and they would not have magic at their backs to protect men at sea. And maybe Adela, cause they like war?

You can read more about the event on the plotting page here and information page here!

I ran the Connlaothian civil war. For more info, check out it's page here. The war has now turned into a 'Cold War' with it's plotting page found here. It's no longer a huge site wide event but the scars are there.

It's pretty easy to figure out the kind of boats that are available. Most of the world is looking at anything that would be available in the 1500's. Usually Connlaoth is ahead of the standard in technology by around 100 years. That's what I've deduced from other tech advantages they have, such as in guns, cannons, and medicine. Magic though is always an option if you want things to be a bit more advanced or powerful. Now as far as Navies go, I don't know that anyone has one. Navies usually are established to make war across oceans. There may be fleets of ships, but Naval battle doesn't seem all that practical for a single continent. @Tally and @Rhi-Rhi will have to give us the facts on that of course, and if anyone has a Navy, I would think it would be as was mentioned before, Connlaoth and Adela. Serendipity may have one if the other two do, but its more likely that they all have trade fleets, and then there are privateers and pirate hunters. I'll text Rhi and tell her to poke in here.




UPDATE: So from what Rhi is telling me through text as she does grocery shopping, is that practically all the major countries have navies. She can clarify for us when she gets home, but you're pretty safe basing your Naval Captain in just about any major country.
