The Azure Navy (OLD FACTBOOK - PRESERVED INFO)
- The Azure Navy -
The Navy is the largest, most funded, most capable, and most proud of all major branches.
As of 2043, the Gojiran Navy has over 286 ships (excluding the Reserve Fleet & Fleets of Overseas Territory militaries), organized into 4 main fleets. Each ship has the GDS acronym before its name, which is GDS (Gojiran Defence Ship). The Gojiran Navy has, in total, 11 Carriers (excluding the Rexania Class Helicopter Carriers), followed by 2 Battleship classes, along with numerous Cruiser and Destroyer classes and many more below them. Moreover, Gojira has over 17 submarines, with more on the way. The main 2 classes of nuclear submarines are the Atragon & Sentinel Class Nuclear Submarines, and the Iris Class Attack Submarines. The GMPF has been deployed all across The Gojiran Isle’s territories: “The Cascadian Fleet” operating in Islas Gojyras (Main Gojiran Isles), “The Erinevo Fleet” operating in The Emerpids, “The Ezekiel Fleet” around The Kurzak Sea & Kumaria, and “The Tsyemmy Fleet” in The Tsyemmy Sea.
The Azure Navy is filled with multiple ways of defense. For starters, tons of heavily developed Naval tactics have evolved over the course of thousands of years, along with many technologies that have developed throughout. Islas Gojyras’s Navy also heavily steers towards both Anti-submarine, Anti-air, and Electronic Warfare capabilities since the 90s. Today in the 2040s, the Queen’s Navy is filled with numerous weapons systems. Here is the general info on a majority of them.

NAVY NEWS HEADLINES -
1. The Azure Navy has received more money from the Ministry of Defence to increase Naval capabilities in both technological aspects, along with increasing the ammount of vessels in The GMRPF. The Azure Navy continues increasing the sizes of all 3 Active Fleets across its territories, along with building up the Tsyemmy Fleet.
2. The GMRPF opens up more Naval bases in other nations once again, this time being in Yukizome after The Ophion-Yukizome agreement. This is the beginning of a long, beneficial and prosperous alliance between Yukizome & Islas Gojyras, along with relations between NCO and The Amatsuko Collective.

Modern times (2045)
In modern times, Gojira's strength is growing. As Technology and money are booming in the Flourishing Era of Gojira (which started in the 60s and the 90s). Currently, Gojira has 286 ships in the 4 main fleets and 74 in the Oddball/Reserve fleet. The 1st fleet is around the Islas Gojyras, the 2nd fleet is across the Emerpid Islands, and the 3rd fleet is being deployed at the Ezekiel Territory & the Kurzak Sea, with the 4th operating in the Tsyemmy. More ships are currently being made, with new technology created by the Orion Company as advancements continue. The GMRPF is already heavily capable and powerful; however, these advancements & growth are needed so that it stays and further improves.
In the Modern Era, some famous ships are planned to retire and be put to scrap or the Oddball fleet, while many new designs for new classes are being planned in the works. By 2050, the Navy will have around 300 ships (predicted). Ready to fight for The Nation, as The Navy is the most focused on by the Ministry of Defense. This is, of course, due to Islas Gojyras being an archipelago. No one truly knows what will happen in the future... However, the Gojiran Isles will be ready to face it.

Future Plans -
Filler.
So how many personnel does The Azure Navy have? The Nation of Gojira has an official strength of 50,900 personnel, but currently numbers around 51,200 total personnel.
Due to the Flourishing era (where money boomed, as technology got more advanced, and the population grew) starting from the 80s, it has caused the nation of Gojira to go from 99.6 million people to 120 million people in a span of 40 years. With the GMRPF's Orion company making the best technology for the country, the GMRPF is responsible for protecting all of Gojira. Since the Nation is an archipelago of Islands, the Ministry of Defense mostly focused on Naval power for Gojira.
The Nation also has lots of natural resources, such as oil, food, and raw materials. With the technology advancing, Gojira could use more fossil fuels, oil deposits, and nuclear power. The Navy is an important aspect of the Gojiran defense Policy. The GMRPF is known for its anti-submarine warfare and minesweeping capabilities.
Defense planners believe the most effective approach to combating hostile submarines entails mobilizing all available weapons, including surface combatants, submarines, patrol planes, and helicopters. The Country has over 23 listening stations across the nation equipped with multiple ELINTs (Electronic Intelligence), which gather data from the use of electronic sensors. The Nation also has a marine surveillance warning system, in case any nation threatens or attacks Gojira.
What is the EILNT(s)? ELINT (Electronic Intelligence Systems) are located all over the coasts of Grand Karre and the other main islands. Detects enemy warships, enemy craft, or Kaiju near the coasts. Uses electronic sensors and AI to detect the enemy.

What is the MSWS? Maritime Surveillance Warning System, planted all over the territorial and international waters of Gojira (all bays, any near other nations, islands, etc). Either disguised as oil rigs, with submarines (separate from the GMRPF submarine fleet), or underwater bases/systems (can be both manned or unmanned).

The GMRPF is known for its former Minelayer and its Minesweeper forces (Which are planned to be restored, being a part of many of the future GMRPF plans), with thousands of mines in the Gojiran Isles and elsewhere that are owned by Gojira. Many trenches have also been used as a "dumping" place for ammunition and explosives, so all of those could be set off if an invasion scenario were to take place. Around 5 deep trenches are used for these dumpings, 3 in the main islands, and 2 in the Emerpids. The deepest dumping trench is "Styx deep", around 4 miles wide and 1080-2500 ft deep (Not as large as the trench near the Emerpids, which is 26,312 ft deep. However, this one isn't used for ammunition dumping). Chemical and conventional munitions have been dumped there since the 1920s.
The Gojiran Air Force also has a role in the defence, providing air cover at sea. Though the Navy has its own fighter planes on Its Aircraft carriers and aerial technology as well. The Gojiran fleet is equipped with anti-aircraft warfare protection. Its Frigates, Corvettes, and destroyers are equipped with the Raijin combat system, which has anti-aircraft and anti-missile warfare.
With all of those other capabilities, here are our main priorities the GMRPF has: Safeguarding territorial waters, dealing with hunting pirates, delivering humanitarian aid, etc. Whatever our naval armada of 286 ships will deal with, from one simple dispute to a whole war, the GMRPF will be there to defend Gojira and its allies.
NAVAL TACTICS -
There's 3 general types of naval warfare: surface combat (warship engagement), air combat, and undersea combat. The GMRPF has different strategies and responses for all of these. There are a total of 4 different formations for Gojiran Naval ships. A Carrier Strike Group, consisting of 10 ships in total, with multiple vessels of different sizes protecting a Carrier (Either a Supercarrier or Lightcarrier). There's the Carrier, the main command center of the Strike Group with the ability to dispatch multiple fighters & helicopters for air power. Additionally, a Battleship at the front is the main strength for offense & defence. Moreover, 4 Destroyers and 2 Nuclear Cruisers also aid in the protection of the carrier, and a frigate at the end, along with a Nuclear submarine. Now, onto Escort Squadrons. These mostly consist of Destroyers or Cruisers, built for escorting larger vessels or to be an extra addition to a Carrier Strike Group. Lastly, Submarine Squadrons. These are units that patrol specific areas in the Gojiran territories, such as the famous Emerpid Islands T.E.Z (Total Exclusion Zone). This region has 2 Submarine Squadrons patrolling it. Amphibious Ready Groups (ARG's) have also been starting to get more focus, with the goals of having swifter and more rapid deployments of forces with these ARG's. ARG's can also be aided by Escort Squadrons and Carrier Strike Groups.
Now, for the main 2 combat types of Gojiran Naval Warfare. Attrition Warfare (slowly exhausting the enemy), and Maneuver warfare. Both of these 2 apply to both the GMRPF & SRMF, with them using Maneuver warfare ever more often. The ability to adapt in combat is highly prioritized in The Gojiran Navy, making wise & quick decisions against the enemy. Making decisions & responses, before the enemy can make theirs once they spot us. Maneuver warfare takes great expertise in sailing a Naval vessel, with The Orion Company making sure they build the most efficient and quick engines. Something known as "Naval Drifting" also aids the crew's piloting of the vessel. Furthermore, spatial movement and overwhelming the enemy in a battle are also major things in Gojiran Naval Warfare. Recon missions & research to exactly pinpoint the weaknesses of an enemy naval group, then focusing & using it against them. How can we do this? Multiple ways. The first is coordination & planning; competence is key. The use of EILNTs, stated prior to this section, can be used for numerous reasons. For example, Intercepting, gaining information, spotting, interference with communications, along with spreading disinformation (spreading disinformation/misinformation is a common Gojiran military tactic). Second, the use of anti-ship & anti-submarine missiles & torpedoes, which are guided. These missiles are used at long ranges, with guns being used when closer to the enemy.
However, there are other ways of immobilizing the enemy besides raw power. Destroying the main command center of the enemy (such as a Carrier), along with resupply lines such as transport & cargo vessels. Once the "Center of Naval Gravity" is identified, GMRPF forces will immediately act upon discovering it. Once the elimination of an enemy force's Center of Naval Gravity is conducted, any remaining forces in disarray will be destroyed, along with responding to any chances of reforming said Center of Naval Gravity.
Adding on, an overall Decisive Battle Strategy/Goal is prioritized. Naval officers, when planning an operation or battle, all seek to achieve a conclusive victory against the enemy. Seeking a conclusive victory leads to the Azure Navy seeking a quick, powerful, and overwhelming strike. However, these can give both wins and high risks to the GMRPF in an engagement. To solve this issue, an overwhelming strike is waited for until it is the right time, the right conditions to do so. Officers choose when it's the most favourable and possible; this can vary for "The right conditions". Things such as identifying the Center of Naval Gravity & seeing other vulnerable pieces are times when this will be implemented. Baiting Tactics, deception and Ambush Strategies (more on ambushing later) are also used alongside Manuever Warfare. Furthermore, they'll be aided by Massed air attacks (either by Naval squadrons or The GAPF) along with Submarine-centered strikes. There are also strategies in whittling down the enemy throughout an engagement, whilst the Center of Gravity & other exploits are still being identified. The use of speed is another part of this, with vessels being rapid in combat. Besides speed, as speed is being exploited, heavily armed capabilities are also preferred. The use of Guided Missiles, Guided artillery shells, Anti-air & Anti-submarine weapons, depth charges, torpedoes, heavy guns, and Jamming technologies are all general parts of this.
The Typhoon Defence System began in the early 90s, being a simple concept drawn up by the GRPKF. However, as the rebirth of Military strength began in the 90s and 2000s, along with a new shipbuilding age, the Typhoon Defence System would be fully established on May 21st, 1998. The Typhoon Defence System consists of the well-known EILNT (Electronic Intelligence System) coastal stations across each of the islands, the MWSS (Marine Warning Surveillance Systems) at the ocean's surface, and the UMN (Underwater Monitoring Network). This consists of a large communications & detection system that uses both digital and analog ways of communication. All of these will immediately notify the GMRPF and the other GRPKF military branches of a threat, and will all keep an eye on whatever they've all collectively detected.
...
Electronic Intelligence System Stations (EILNTs), are coastal bases/stations scattered all over the Islas Gojyras and its Overseas Territories. Over 23 are on the Main Islands alone, with 10 more across the Overseas Territories. These bases have a wide range, being over 2,000 miles. However, these can be extended if modifications are needed. Moreover, EILNT Stations are Nuclear Powered (from many Plants powering Gojiran Urban areas), along with RF shielding to keep them operational during EMP attacks. The main goals of these are: To intercept signals from the enemy, identify both imminent and potential threats, detect possible EMP attacks & preventing them, and informing/contacting the GMRPF on crucial information.
Marine Warning Surveillance Systems (MWSS) are ocean-surface detection platforms that are also a key part of the Typhoon Defence System. Unlike the EILNT stations, which are coastal and have a limited reach, the MWSS stations are at sea and can provide a greater reach in surveillance & detection. MWSS Stations are built like those of Large oil rigs, having stability along with RF shielding. Additionally, besides a drill, MWSS Stations have underwater sensors for underwater detection. MWSSs are both communication and command platforms, providing communications with Naval groupings (such as Carrier Strike Groups or Escort Squadrons) & Docks/Stopping points for Naval vessels traversing the North Western Sea.
Underwater Monitoring Network (UMN) is a large underwater network consisting of 2 major components. The first part is Hydrophones, which are built to detect Submarines along with other marine occurrences on the ocean floor. Dozens of Hydrophones are scattered across Gojira's territories, with it being called "The Erinevo-Cascade Hydrophone Array". These can detect both the highest and lowest frequencies of sounds, having a reach of thousands of meters with very little loss of signal. Furthermore, the second part is a newer, more powerful one. This one is called OceanShields; these are devices that are planted all over coasts, maritime borders, and important Naval/Sea routes. OceanShields has the ability to do tracking, as well as classification that distinguishes between submarines and other underwater threats.
1st Fleet Activities - Monitoring & Protecting the Gojiran Isles
The 1st Fleet of The Gojiran Navy. This Fleet is usually referred to as “The GMRPF 1st Fleet”, or “The Northwestern Verusan Sea Fleet,” and more commonly known as “The Cascadian Fleet”. The 1st Fleet of the Gojiran Navy consists of some of the oldest (besides The Reserve Fleet), with The 1st Fleet being tasked with patrolling and monitoring The Islas Gojyras. Many of the 1st Fleet's activities take place at the Kingdom of Ngisla, with central communications being in Kujira, and Arctic zones in Gorira & Borsval. As of today, the 1st Fleet is responsible for multiple Naval bases, Naval Stations, and Marine bases. The 1st Fleet is also the one many Gojiran sailors will end up in after training. Moreover, the GMRPF 1st Fleet is considered the most powerful, and is also the one that can respond the quickest and usually is the one that communicates with other allied navies.
...
2nd Fleet Activities - Patrolling & Protecting the Emerpid Islands
The 2nd Fleet is another older fleet and is around the same size as the 1st Fleet. It’s usually referred to as “The 2nd Fleet”, “The Emerpidian Fleet” (though this term now refers to the EMPF), or “The Erinevo Fleet”. The GMRPF’s 2nd Fleet is responsible for patrolling the coasts, EEZ’s, and key Naval fortifications on The Emerpids. The Emerpid Islands were historically a place where nuclear testing took place, mainly on their southern islands. However, this, of course, has stopped decades ago, as the Emerpidian population continues to increase. In recent times, as the Emerpid War came, the 2nd Fleet & 1st Fleet set up a zone known as “The Total Exclusion Zone” (T.E.Z), encircling the Emerpids and the Starsight Island chain. Today, after the victory in the Emerpid War, the T.E.Z is still up today. Forces of the Erinevo Fleet, Emerpidian Fleet, and Starsight Navy are all responsible for patrolling & protecting it from V-G.
…
3rd Fleet Activities - Guarding & Aiding the Ezekiel Territory and Kurzak Sea
The 3rd Fleet is the youngest out of the current 3 Operational Fleets, being a result of the Verusan Coalition's victory in The Great Verusan War. After the Great Verusan War, a Treaty known as “The Treaty of the Silver Angel” granted Gojira an Overseas Territory in Central Verusa. This Territory would be known as “The Ezekiel Territory.” The Overseas Territory would have numerous things established, such as The Ezekiel Government, The Ezekiel Guards, along with the 3rd Fleet of the GMRPF. The 3rd Fleet is usually just referred to as “The 3rd Fleet”; however, its other names are “The Ezekiel Fleet” and “The Kurzak Sea Fleet”. Due to the KPNA’s lack of Naval knowledge and attention, the Ezekiel Fleet has been involved in many activities in the Kurzak coasts & sea, with Kurzakstan overall relying on the Ezekiel Fleet in terms of Naval activities.

Ships & Submarines Overview
As of 2045, the Gojiran Navy has over 226 ships (excluding the Reserve Fleet & Fleets of Overseas Territory militaries), organized into 4 main fleets. Each ship has the GDS acronym before its name, which is GDS (Gojiran Defence Ship). The Gojiran Navy has, in total, 11 Carriers (excluding the Rexania Class Helicopter Carriers), followed by 2 Battleship classes, along with numerous Cruiser and Destroyer classes and many more below them. Moreover, Gojira has over 17 submarines, with more planned. The main 2 classes of nuclear submarines are the Atragon & Sentinel Class Nuclear Submarines, and the Iris Class Attack Submarines. The GMRPF has been deployed all across The Gojiran Isle’s territories: “The Cascadian Fleet” operating in Islas Gojyras (Main Gojiran Isles), “The Erinevo Fleet” operating in The Emerpids, “The Ezekiel Fleet” around The Ezekiel Territory & Kurzak Sea, and “The Tsyemmy Fleet” in The Tsyemmy Sea.
The Blue Cross Navy (One of many Nicknames of the GMRPF) is filled with multiple ways of defence. For starters, tons of heavily developed Naval tactics have evolved over the course of thousands of years, along with many technologies that have developed throughout. Islas Gojyras’s Navy also heavily steers towards both Anti-submarine, Anti-air, and Electronic Warfare capabilities since the 90s. Today in the 2040s, the Queen’s Navy is filled with numerous weapons systems. Here is the general info on a majority of them.

The list - |
- 1 × OTO Melara 76 mm gun "Compact" Variant.
This older and first version is a gun that is mounted on multiple destroyers of the GMRPF. The compact variant gun has an angle of +85 degrees. The Compact Variant was designed with the Kiryu & Janjir-Don class as they were being developed in the late 90s-2000s, with it being able to shoot around 85 rounds per minute when in combat. Moreover, the maximum firing range is 45,000 meters. These are named “The Compact Variant”, due to their capabilities with high-explosive and semi-armor-piercing ammunition. Muzzle velocity is 900 meters per second. |
- 1 × OTO Melara 76 mm gun "Super Rapid" Variant
This variant is the more modern/recent version. Developed shortly before the Great Verusan War, the Super Rapid variant is a modified, upgraded version, larger and more bulky than the Compact Version. It can shoot around 120 rounds per minute, giving it the nickname of "Super Rapid". The Super Rapid variant of the OTO Melara family has an overall firing range of 50,000 meters and can angle to +90 degrees. Super Rapid guns are titled from their driven-ammunition and armor-piercing ammunition. Muzzle velocity is 925 meters per second. |
- OtoMelara/OtoBreda 127/54C mm gun "Multi Purpose" Variant
This Third variant, and also the most recent, largest, and most powerful variant of the OTO guns (created by the Orion Company). It is thick, bulky, and has a much wider range when in combat. These are usually mounted on larger vessels, sometimes Destroyers, along with Nuclear Cruisers and battleships, most especially. Designed after The Great Verusan War, The Multi-Purpose Variant can shoot around 150 rounds per minute, and the muzzle velocity is 930 meters per second. Adding on, this gun has all kinds of ammunition to give it its “Multi-Purpose” title. The firing range for the Multi-Purpose variant is 55,000 meters, with angle capabilities being +85 degrees. |
- Mark-8 naval gun
This naval gun is mostly on every frigate or corvette of the GMRPF, such as the Luana Frigates or the Tala Perez Frigates. Alternatively, these have also been mounted on Kong & Pygmy class corvettes specifically. The Mark-8 naval gun has a calibre of 4.45 inches (113 mm). |
- 2 Mk45 5”/54 cal. (127mm) lightweight guns
This is one of the modern guns of the GMRPF. This gun is mounted on the Gojiran nuclear cruisers such as the Borsval class and Emerpid class Cruisers. Additionally, some of these guns are on the new guided missile battleships as well, providing extra firepower. These guns have a 5-inch (127 mm) L54 Mark 19 gun on the Mark 45 mount. |
- 20 mm Phalanx CIWS 2
The Phalanx CIWS 2 is a manufactured weapon used to defend GMRPF ships from enemy ships, missiles, aircraft, or small boats. It is a powerful automated gun-based close-combat weapons system. |
- DS30B Mark 1 - 30mm machine guns (Rapid Fire Cannon)
These automated (can also be manned) Light Caliber guns have a couple of roles on GMRPF ships. These defence systems were created to defend warships (Frigates or Destroyers) from fast craft, it can also aid in helping the CIWS systems. |
- Mk-41 Vertical Launching System (VLS)
This is a common missile launcher on most of the newer Gojiran naval ships (Ones that are from the mid 2010s and onwards). It’s a missile launcher that launches several types of missiles and has over 32 different cells that store them, along with reloading capabilities. |
- MK-18 Boxed Launching system (BLS)
The missile launcher is normally nicknamed "The Matchbox" launcher by sailors. This movable launch system is made to launch anti-submarine and anti-air missiles. The Mk-18 can carry about 18 on its first load; however, it can launch multiple missiles at a time and can reload multiple times. |
- MK-143 launcher
An anti-air missile launch system developed by The Orion Company that is on the Nuclear Cruisers and Guided Missile battleships of the Gojiran Navy. It launches all kinds, such as surface-to-air (SAM), cruise-guided missiles, Harpoon, other Anti-ship missiles, etc. |
- Mk-20 Boxed Launching System (BLS)
The Mk-20 BLS is a recently designed Missile system from The Orion Company. It’s an upgraded and follow-up version of the Mk-18, with some notable updates. For example, a dual box concealment design with better tracking & launching systems, along with 12 tubes which can be reloaded automatically more than once. The detection & tracking sensors on this give it additional abilities and also allow it to respond much quicker. |
- Mk-28 launcher
A Post-Emerpid War design, developed in the 2040s alongside the new increasing Ship development of the GMRPF. Over 2 Blocks are being developed & built for it, with the Mk-28 Block 1 being put on the Batch 2s of Nuclear Cruisers and the Battleship classes. It can carry 4 missiles and can be reloaded twice. |
The list - |
- Ulmer J19B (Guided Artillery Shell, 155mm)
The Ulmer J19B Artillery Shell is one of the first Guided Artillery Shells of the Gojiran Navy, being developed in the late 2000s-mid 2010s. This program was done with a former nation that no longer exists, the former nation & Head ONN leader Lionsroar. |
- NDM Wrights (Guided Artillery Shell, 54mm)
The NDM (Nathaniel D. Morgan) Wright's shell is one of the more recent Artillery shells, also being guided; however, it has a much more advanced system than the Ulmer shells. These shells have an AI system that helps change their direction and is more accurate, giving them the name "The Smart Shell". |
- Orion 84mm shells
The Orion 84mm Shells are the most produced types of shells in the GMRPF, being mostly on the destroyers and sometimes frigates. The Orion shells are 84mm and usually go on all of the OTO family modern Naval guns (Compact, Super-Rapid, and Multi-Purpose). These shells started production in the mid-to-late 2010s, when the Kiryu and Janjir-Don classes were being built to replace the Sandir and Sunhowler class destroyers. |
- RADON 99 shells
The Radon Artillery shells are one of the newer artillery shells for GMRPF vessels. These shells are around 76mm, they're also guided munitions and were developed during the latter half of the Great Verusan War. These shells use a GPS and also use a similar system to the NDM shells, allowing them to change direction and aim their target more accurately. |
- Sanalox 32C shells (Cruiser shell) filler. |
- Sanalox 34A Shells (Cruiser shell) filler. |
- Los Mendoza NRG shells (Modern Battleship Shells)
These shells are the largest shells produced by the GMRPF in the 21st century. These shells were made near the end of the Great Verusan War and are now used on the large guns of the Hondo J. Davis-class battleship. Now, of course, they still have Modern naval guns and Missile systems; however, these ships still carry heavy guns (they were made to combat other navies with Modern battleships). |
- Magneto PN shells
The Magneto shells of the GMRPF are another type of Modern Artillery shell for modern battleships. However, this one isn't as large, but it's an armor-piercing shell that's also guided and has a GPS to locate its target (once again allowing it to change its direction). These are for the Los Baguinda class battleships, which mainly focus on their sheer power of missiles it has, so it doesn't focus much on guns. |
- Jared HG93 shells (Nuclear Artillery Shells - EXPERIMENTAL)
These shells are the only Nuclear shells produced by the GMRPF, along with the GGSDF, which made its own variant separate from the Naval variant. During the time of Gojiran Nuclear testing, the GMRPF, the pride of the Gojiran Military, wanted their own version of Nuclear shells the GGPF and GAPF were making, and this was the result. Not many were built; however, some are still in storage. |
- AKSDF Artillery shell (Anti-Kaiju shell) Filler. |
For most of history, the GAPF (Gojiran Air Peace Keeping Force) has had somewhat of a role when working with the GMRPF, providing air cover at sea. This role of defending the Gojiran Isles and other nations is GAPF's primary mission of air defence of the home islands. Extended patrols over coastal claims, areas Gojiran owns, and many more are beyond the GAPF's current capabilities. In these areas, where the GAPF can't get involved, some things need to be done in the sky for the GMRPF.
When operations or missions require support from the skies, the aircraft of the two GMRPF fleets come to aid. This specialist aerial wing flies some of the world’s most up-to-date, tough, and advanced aircraft in the most testing of environments. Here is the list of aircraft used in the GMRPF.
The list - |
- LKA Harrier I (Retired) The first of the VTOL/STOL fighter jets ever produced by Gojira, the first Harrier I "Jump Jet" would be first produced in the late 70s and early 1980s. This jet would be designed with a single engine, without the need for a runway (hence the nickname "The Jump Jet"). These jets would mostly be used on light carriers or helicopter carriers, being a fighter-bomber jet. |
- LKA Harrier II (Retired) The second addition of the LKA Harrier family, which is also still being used to this day. It also has the VTOL ability. It started development and was produced between the 1990s and 2010s. This jet has a couple of differences, with more up-to-date technology. The Harrier II now has roles for ground attack missions, as it is a greatly modified and upgraded version of the Harrier I. It has a lighter weight (due to changes with its fuel sullage), as well as increased payload and range when in combat. |
- LKA Harrier III (In service) The third and most recent addition to the LKA Harrier family. The LKA Harrier III is the most recently produced and the most advanced VTOL jet of the GMRPF. It was only recently developed during the late 2010s, with it being produced between the 2020s and 2030s. It is still currently being produced and is still in service today. This 5th generation fighter would have the roles of the previous harriers, but would also be Gojira's 5th Generation stealth fighter jet. This Fighter was a useful one throughout the Emerpid War. |
- LKA Otachi I (In service) The LKA Otatchi I, a Tactical Strike Bomber (or Strategic Bomber) used in the GMRPF, began production in the 2040s. It’s the largest combat-related aircraft operated on Aircraft Carriers of the Azure Navy, so more careful preparations and competence of the pilots are required. Even then, operating in both the Azure Navy and Air Force, the GMRPF uses it to conduct tactical strikes on enemy naval bases/stations and naval ships when crucially needed. (insert image here - TBD) |
- P-1 Maritime patrol aircraft (In service)
|
- Sterling Helicopter (In service) The Sterling Helicopter was developed in the late 2020s, a few years before the Great Verusan War began in 2031. Sterling Helicopters are Stealth Helicopters, as they mainly focus on fire support, troop transport (such as carrying Marines or GSBS Squadrons), and reconnaissance. These Helicopters are one of the 2 common Helicopters on Gojiran Destroyers, Cruisers, and Aircraft Carriers. Additionally, these helicopters have been proven useful for many Special Forces missions and have helped out throughout the Emerpid War. |
- Santana SH-70K Helicopter (In service) The Santana SH-70K, is an older Helicopter that has gone through numerous modifications and variants. Over 3 Variants throughout the past decades have been created (Similar to that of the Harriers). These Helicopters were first developed in the late 90s and early 2000s, their purpose/role being involved in Anti-Submarine and Anti-Ship warfare (Although it focuses on Anti-Submarine warfare more). Its cannon is precise, with it having the ability to carry multiple Anti-Submarine missiles (which are also guided "smart" missiles). |
- Altheasanos MH-53E / S-80-M-1 (In service)
|
The list - |
- Ocean 12 EMP wavemaker The Ocean 12 is an EMP-based weapon, made to send out bursts of concentrated electromagnetic energy towards an enemy target, which is made to disrupt communications & power during combat. This further helps in stealth and battle capabilities, allowing The Azure Navy to have a greater advantage as the Ocean 12 continues delaying time for the enemy. |
- RDD Mark 1 The RDD (Radar Decoy and Disruptor) is a deployable device that has multiple capabilities. For one, the large floating device can be used to mimic the radar signatures of a Gojiran or another allied vessel. This can lead to misleading the enemy into the wrong area, which allows more time for a GMRPF Naval vessel to make a move. Moreover, an RDD is also capable of sending broadband noise frequencies to overwhelm enemy radar personnel. |

Karagan Naval Academy.
How do you join the GMRPF? A citizen of Gojira must complete the online registration and application and fill out the online registration to join the GMRPF. After registration and application, you have to take the GMRPF recruitment test. Then you take the Self Defence Force Career Office Interview, the normal stuff, and then you have to take multiple medical tests. The GMRPF takes medical tests and fitness tests to see if you're fit and able to join the Gojiran navy.
With all of that, you're now a part of the GMRPF. GMRPF recruits receive three months of basic training followed by courses in patrol, gunnery, minesweeping, convoy operations, and maritime transportation. Flight students, all upper-secondary school graduates, enter a two-year course. Officer candidate schools offer six-month courses to qualified enlisted personnel and those who have completed flight school.
Graduates of four- or five-year universities, the four-year National Defense Academy, and particularly outstanding enlisted personnel undergo a one-year officer course at the Officer Candidate School at Los Baguinda, which used to be named the former Imperial Naval Academy and also the former area of Ophion naval training. The GMRPF operates a staff college in Kujira Atomica for senior officers.
Sailors and crew of a Kiryu class Destroyer.
The large volume of coastal commercial fishing and maritime traffic (For example, the Kaiju line ocean liners, cargo ships, cruise ships, etc) around Gojira limits in-service sea training, especially in the relatively shallow waters required for mine laying, minesweeping, and submarine rescue practice. Training days are scheduled around slack fishing seasons in winter and summer, providing about ten days during the year.
The GMRPF maintains two oceangoing training ships and conducts annual long-distance on-the-job training for graduates of the one-year officer candidate school. Overall, graduating from the Naval Academy leads to a sailor career in the GMRPF, which is surface combat. Additionally, this can also lead to Naval aviation and submarine warfare.
...
Now, there are other ways to get into the GMRPF. The Naval academies (such as Karagan Naval Academy or Los Baguinda Naval Academy), which yes, can get you into the Navy once you graduate; however, there are other entrances. This second "Entrance" can also lead you to have different opportunities and career paths in the Gojiran Navy. Before doing so, it is both recommended and expected to be as fit as possible before arriving for training. The ability to swim, most especially, will be the focus of drills and tests done on this.
You can also apply to join & train at Naval Station Ironbark, a shore station located at Grand Karre (The main/largest Gojiran island). During this, you'll be having a 14-week training course for basic training. At Naval Station Ironbark, people shall learn: discipline, organisation, teamwork, communications, firefighting, and weapon handling skills. All of these skills that are taught at Naval Station Ironbark are made sure to remain throughout people's careers in the GMRPF.
Moreover, ceremonial duties and drills, seamanship training, and tackle obstacle courses are also taught & conducted at Naval Station Ironbark. Overall, once training is completed, this can also lead to a Surface-warfare career. However, the key differences are that it opens up opportunities to sub-branches of the GMRPF. For example, the SRMF (Gojiran Royal Marines) and the GSBS (Gojiran Special Boat Service). Both of these are explained in the next 2 sections below.
...
Photo of the GSBS training.
One of the many branches of the Gojiran Special Forces (GSF) is under both the GSF and the GMRPF. This special forces branch is called "The Gojiran Special Boat Service". The Special Boat Service has been around for decades, ever since its founding in the mid 1950s. In recent history, it served in the later months of the year-and-a-half-long Great Verusan War. It performed multiple operations in the Kurzak Gulf and Kurzak Peninsula, and did many things during the Prathia campaign. Along with that, it did numerous operations throughout the Kurzak Civil War and the Emerpid War.
Ever since then, throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, the Gojiran Special Boat Service has been the elite maritime counter-terrorism unit of the Royal Navy. Made up of small, highly trained teams, it specialises in daring undercover raids that exploit the element of surprise.
The Special Boat Service during Kabarovsk's Operation Desertstrike.
Most of the operations carried out by the SBS are highly classified and will remain that way for a long time. Consequently, little is known about the individuals who make up the unit of the GSBS (Gojiran Special Boat Service). It's almost like they're invisible; their identity doesn't exist. Most of them are drawn from the Gojiran Marines Commandos, and all show exceptional physical and mental aptitude. In short, they’re the best of the best in the Navy, and this special force branch is a new part of the many older branches of the Special Forces.
Equipment of the Gojiran Special Boat Service includes the Mk8 Mod 1 SDVs crewed submersible and Mk11 SWCS SDVs submersible for underwater/submerged operations. These crewed submersibles can be housed in nuclear submarines such as the Atragon Submarines and the Sentinel Submarines. They can be housed in areas such as the dry deck shelter on either of these nuclear submarine classes.
For surface combatant operations, the Special Boat Service uses things such as Fast floating/Interceptor Craft that can reach up to 58 knots. Folding Canoes, Rigid Raiders, Tiamond Searider Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs), and Smaug LAR-V rebreathers.

The Gojiran Marines, formally known as the "Gojiran Special Naval Landing Force" before being renamed to the GSMDF (Gojiran Special Marine Defence Force) and later being renamed alongside the GMRPF. They've been around for decades. They were founded in 1899, a couple of decades after the GSDF's founding in 1875. They're the first to understand. The first to adapt and respond. The first to overcome. Furthermore, they're their own separate branch, but are technically under the Naval branch & work alongside them. Currently, the Gojiran Marines' full branch name is the SRMF (Special Royal Marine Forces). The current commander of The SRMF is General Angelo Chapman, with there being 23,820 active personnel.
The Gojiran Marines during Operation Typhoon Gamma (Naval operation under Operation Typhoon)
Fully integrated with the GMRPF amphibious ships, assault ships, fast attack craft, and other things from the GMRPF. The Gojiran Marines can be deployed across Verusa and the overseas territories without host nation support and projected stealthily from the sea to conduct operations on land. The Gojiran Marines are capable of combating hostile forces, training partner troops and deploying on peacekeeping operations.
Moving rapidly to outmaneuvers enemies and get Royal Marine troops to some of the toughest environments on the planet, our armored vehicles can ‘swim’, land ashore and cross obstacles like rivers and lakes. The Gojiran Marines do many operations alongside the Gojiran Special Boat Service. Both fought in multiple wars in the 21st century, including the 5K-Yemet war, Great Verusan War, 2nd Kurzak Civil War, 2nd Verdantian-Kurzak war, and the Emerpid War.
Land & Sea vehicles - |
Ranger Personnel Armored Vehicle - This is an All-terrain vehicle; it's one that can be used in all sorts of land-based environments, along with amphibious operations. These vehicles have 2 main components: the main vehicle, and a "coach" (or trailer unit) attached to it from behind, which can be used as storage and also as an area to mount weapons on. They can outmaneuver enemies and provide fire support in battle. |
Tidalwave Amphibious IFV/APC - Amphibious APC's are key to the Gojiran Marines' amphibious operations & help with the Marines being the first in a combat zone. This 30-ton class vehicle is suitable for both amphibious & land combat, with a hydrodynamically optimized rear and a mounted gun produced by The Orion Company, similar to that of the DS30B Mark 1 RFC's (Rapid Fire Cannons) on Gojiran Destroyers. |
Discovery 3 MBT (From the GGPF, Ground Forces) - The Discovery 3 MBT is one of the 2 current main MBT's of the Gojiran Military, with the other being the Type 93 Mendozakai Tank. These tanks provide the main firepower in an amphibious assault, along with a long land-based combat operation. These tanks help in pushing & venturing deeper into enemy lines, with many support vehicles & others behind them. |
Marine Quad Bikes - Marines will always use quad bikes to give them the edge in combat. They're fast and agile, and can be deployed from larger vehicles, either from other Marine vehicles or Naval/Air Helicopters that are transporting them. Additionally, they're mostly used by commandos of the Marines and can be added with different components depending on the combat setting. |
Isaac MRZR - The Isaac MRZR's are vehicles built to quickly transport Marine commandos to a destination and back, with lights for off-road that have a wide range of sight. Isaac MRZR's are built to carry supplies and equipment; these vehicles are easily transportable and are designed for expeditionary-force-based operations. |
Bulldog MK3 - Bulldogs are designed & focused on 2 things. These 2 roles are troop transport and reconnaissance. They're also made as mobility weapon platforms; soldiers can mount multiple weapons on Bulldogs for specific operations. |
(Support Vehicles) Wayfinder 298 - Another All-terrain vehicle of the Royal Marines, similarly designed to the Ranger, however, there are still a few key differences. Unlike the Ranger, these vehicles are built for support & amphibious transport, not exactly for firepower, but they're still capable. ... Iguana BRV (Beach Recovery Vehicle) - Iguanas are vehicles that are used to recover landing craft in amphibious operations, along with rescuing heavily injured or even dying soldiers in combat. Iguana BRVs have tracks for multi-terrain purposes, along with a heavily armored superstructure when recovering the things mentioned prior. |
Marine Raiding Craft - The SRMF uses these as one of the main ways to transport Marines in amphibious operations. These fast-motored raiding craft are capable of transporting commandos from the sea to land, often aided by Gojiran Naval ships & other transports, along with amphibious APCs.
