The uniforms of the Vinish Navy have evolved gradually since the first uniform regulations for [[Officer (military)|officers]] were issued in 2016 on the formation of the Navy Department. The predominant colors of Vinish Navy uniforms are navy blue and white. Vinish Navy uniforms were based on U.S. Navy uniforms of the time and have tended to follow that template. | |||

The size, complexity, and international presence of the Vinish Navy requires a large number of navy installations to support its operations with the bases being located inside the the States of Vindex Nation itself. | |||

As of 2018, the navy operates over 24 ships, including vessels operated by the [[Military Sealift Command]] (MSC) crewed by a combination of civilian contractors and a small number of uniformed Naval personnel, 50+ aircraft, 50+ non-combat vehicles and owns 60+ buildings on 300,000 acres. | |||
=== Ships === | |||
The names of commissioned ships of the Vinish Navy are prefixed with the letters "VS", designating "Vinish Ship". Non-commissioned, civilian-manned vessels of the navy have names that begin with "VNS", standing for "Vinish Naval Ship". The names of ships are officially selected by the secretary of the navy, often to honor important people or places. Additionally, each ship is given a letter-based [[hull classification symbol]] (for example, CVN or DDG) to indicate the vessel's type and number. All ships in the navy inventory are placed in the [[Naval Vessel Register]], which is part of "the Navy List" (required by article 29 of the [[wikipedia:United_States_Navy#Personnel:~:text=United%20Nations%20Convention%20on%20the%20Law%20of%20the%20Sea|United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea]]). The register tracks data such as the current status of a ship, the date of its commissioning, and the date of its decommissioning. Vessels that are removed from the register prior to disposal are said to be ''stricken'' from the register. The navy also maintains a [[reserve fleet]] of inactive vessels that are maintained for reactivation in times of need. | |||
The Vinish Navy was one of the first to install nuclear reactors aboard naval vessels; today, nuclear energy powers all active Vinish aircraft carriers and submarines. | |||
==== Aircraft Carriers ==== | |||
An [[aircraft carrier]] is typically deployed along with a host of additional vessels, forming a [[carrier strike group]]. The supporting ships, which usually include three or four Aegis-equipped cruisers and destroyers, a frigate, and attack submarines, are tasked with protecting the carrier from air, missile, sea, and undersea threats as well as providing additional strike capabilities themselves. Ready logistics support for the group is provided by a combined ammunition, oiler, and supply ship. Modern carriers are named after Vinish admirals, politicians, and notable naval sailors. | |||
The Navy has a statutory requirement for a minimum of 3 aircraft carriers. All 3 carriers are currently active with all currently commissioned Vinish aircraft carriers are nuclear-powered; joining submarines as the only currently serving nuclear-powered Vinish Navy vessels. | |||
==== Cruisers ==== | |||
[[Cruiser|Cruisers]] are large surface combat vessels that conduct anti-air/anti-missile warfare, surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, and strike operations independently or as members of a larger task force. Modern guided missile cruisers were developed out of a need to counter the anti-ship missile threat facing the Vinish Navy. This led to the development of the AN/SPY-1 phased array radar and the Standard missile with the Aegis combat system coordinating the two. Later developments of vertical launch systems and the Tomahawk missile gave cruisers additional long-range land and sea strike capability, making them capable of both offensive and defensive battle operations. | |||
==== Destroyers ==== | |||
[[Destroyer|Destroyers]] are multi-mission medium surface ships capable of sustained performance in anti-air, anti-submarine, anti-ship, and offensive strike operations. Like cruisers, guided missile destroyers are primarily focused on surface strikes using Tomahawk missiles and fleet defense through Aegis and the Standard missile. Destroyers additionally specialize in anti-submarine warfare and are equipped with VLA rockets and LAMPS Mk III Sea Hawk helicopters to deal with underwater threats. When deployed with a carrier strike group or expeditionary strike group, destroyers and their fellow Aegis-equipped cruisers are primarily tasked with defending the fleet while providing secondary strike capabilities. With very few exceptions, destroyers are named after Vinish Navy, Marine Corps, and former Coast Guard heroes. | |||
==== Patrol Boats ==== | |||
A [[patrol boat]] is a relatively small naval vessel generally designed for coastal defense duties. There have been many designs for patrol boats, though the navy currently does not have any in service. They may be operated by a nation's navy or coast guard, and may be intended for marine ("[[blue water]]") or estuarine or river ("[[brown water]]") environments. The Navy had approximately a dozen ''Cyclone''-class patrol boats in active service as they have been used for home port patrols and [[drug interdiction]] missions. The navy's last active class of patrol boats had names based on weather phenomena. | |||
==== Submarines ==== | |||
All current and planned Vinish Navy [[Submarine|submarines]] are nuclear-powered, as only nuclear propulsion allows for the combination of stealth and long duration, high-speed sustained underwater movement that makes modern nuclear submarines quite vital to a modern blue-water navy. The Viish Navy operates two types: ballistic missile submarines and guided missile submarines. Vinish Navy (nuclear) ballistic missile submarines carry the stealthiest leg of the Vinish strategic triad (the other legs are the land-based Vinish strategic missile force and the air-based Vinish strategic bomber force). These submarines have only one mission: to carry and, if called upon, to launch the Trident nuclear missile. The primary missions of guided missile submarines in the Vinish Navy are peacetime engagement, surveillance and intelligence, special operations, precision strikes, and control of the seas. To these, attack submarines also add the battlegroup operations mission. Guided missile submarines have several tactical missions, including sinking ships and other subs, launching cruise missiles, gathering intelligence, and assisting in special operations. | |||
=== Aircraft === | |||
Carrier-based aircraft are able to strike air, sea, and land targets far from a carrier strike group while protecting friendly forces from enemy aircraft, ships, and submarines. In peacetime, aircraft's ability to project the threat of sustained attack from a mobile platform on the seas gives Vinish leaders significant diplomatic and crisis-management options. Aircraft additionally provide logistics support to maintain the navy's readiness and, through helicopters, supply platforms with which to conduct [[search and rescue]], [[special operations]], [[anti-submarine warfare]] (ASW), and [[anti-surface warfare]] (ASuW), including the Vinish Navy's premier Maritime Strike and only organic ASW aircraft, the venerable Sikorsky [[MH-60R]] operated by [[Helicopter Maritime Strike Wing]]. | |||
The Aircraft Investment Plan sees naval aviation growing from 30 percent of current aviation forces to half of all procurement funding over the next three decades. | |||
