The Bataafse Koninklijke Zeemacht, or Batavian Royal Navy, is responsible for the naval operations of the Kingdom of Batavia. It's one of the three main components of the Batavian Armed Forces. It's sometimes informally referred to as the Koninklijke Marine.
History
With years of occupation came the dissolution of what once had been a proud naval tradition. Batavian sailors an navy officers remained active in foreign navies, and served on military ships from both the Jingdaoese as the Elwynnese. Henceforth, naval tradition was not lost when Batavia regained its independence. Nonetheless, its shipbuilding activities had been diminished, which forced the government to purchase ships in foreign countries. Alduria-Wechua became its main trading partner.
Admiralty
The Admiralty, or Admiraliteit, acts as the highest consultative body of the Koninklijke Zeemacht. Its headquarters are located in 's Koningenwaarde.
