The Royal Rocailish Navy (Rocailish: Sheugvarnet) is the naval branch of the Rocailish Armed Forces. The Sheugvarnet is a long-standing element of Rocail's military and is tasked with protecting the Rocail Archipelago and the surrounding territorial waters in the Atlantic Ocean.

During the Second World War, the Sheugvarnet was among the larger navies in the world, with significant tonnage dedicated to corvettes and destroyers designed for convoy escort. The Sheugvarnet is noted for proficiency in anti-submarine warfare. It is considered a modern green-water navy capable of defending both the littoral and offshore waters of Rocail, with some ability to operate abroad if properly supported by partner nations.

History

Second World War

In 1939, Rocail maintained a small fleet aimed for coastal defense and patrol of territorial waters. The largest ships in the Sheugvarnet were the Jhone Kerr-class cruisers and the coastal defense battleship Vestreland, the latter of which carried the largest cannons ever fielded by a Rocailish vessel.

Rocail maintained neutrality in the first two years of the Second World War but leaned towards the Allies behind the scenes. The strategic importance of the Rocail Archipelago, at the end of the Western Approaches, made it vital to securing the convoy lane between the United States and the United Kingdom. The Sheugvarnet conducted neutrality patrols during this period, mainly barring "ships of war" from Olaw Kolbrun Sound and other Rocailish territorial waters but allowing convoys innocent passage en route to British ports. This neutrality was breached in October 1941, when two Sheugvarnet corvettes discovered a U-boat pursuing a damaged American tanker into the Sound. The resulting diplomatic breakdown with Germany resulted in Rocail joining the war as one of the Allies and taking part in the Battle of the Atlantic.

The Sheugvarnet expanded rapidly to meet the needs of the convoy escort and anti-submarine warfare mission. Rocailish shipwrights rapidly mass-produced corvette and sloop designs based on common hulls. The most notable engagement of the war was the Battle of Rosswald, in which a U-boat sunk the Rocailish flagship, the light cruiser Jhone Kerr, and escaped unscathed. The incident galvanized public opinion against the war and drove a surge in recruitment from Rocailish men seeking revenge on the Kriegsmarine.

Rocail produced the majority of its naval tonnage at domestic facilities, with the Sigurstal Wyrr alone producing close to half of the Sheugvarnet's tonnage. Most of Rocail's fleet consisted of smaller vessels.

Current fleet

Sheugvarnet ships utilize the prefix KRM (Konungligh Råkelskur Marine). This is rarely transliterated into English as HRoMS (His Rocailish Majesty's Ship). The Sheugvarnet officially lists KRM as the preferred international reference for its fleet.
