===The Belkan Imperial Navy===

While the Belkan Air Force is the most talked about branch of the Belkan military it also operates a sizeable navy in the Dead Man's Sea and upper Ignis Ocean. The main force of of the Belkan Navy is its Ironclad Frigates, midsized steam and sail warships with a sizable broadside armament of rifled cannons. These warships are assigned convoy duties protecting the Empire's merchant marine and even, In some cases, serving on the line of battle. These ships are often faster than their Alkorian counterparts due to the adoption of screw propellers across the Belkan fleet, a point of great pride among the Northern Nantic sailors. While Frigates make up the bulk of the surface fleet the true power of Belkan's Navy is in it's growing collection of fully enclosed ironclad warships. First are it's Cruisers, medium ranged steam-powered warships fully enclosed in plates of thick iron, and it's Battleships, the pride of the Navy these ships are floating fortresses boasting double and triple gundecks and vast crews. While these ships are the most intimidating part of the Belkan fleet to many an Alkorian admiral, a growing number of Battleships have had experimental conversions fitting them with vast feeding bays or fuel tanks for Belkan's aerial units. With several of these "Aero-Carriers" already being put to sea carrying squadrons of compact and bomb laden Marine-Eagles. In growing frustration with a number of other nations fielding air units much of the Belkan Navy has been pressed into using explosive rockets and mortars, but most sailors are unconcerned that any nation will be able to seize control of the air from them.
