Upon the Restoration of Charles II in 1660, it became a national institution, instead of the king's navy, and was given its modern name. From the beginning of the 18th century until well into the 20th century, it was the most powerful navy in the world. Due to this historical prominence, it is common – even among non-Britons – to refer to it as "The Royal Navy" without qualification.

  • UK- Royal Navy - British Empire. The UK has the most effective armor, the best support crews, a large variety of fast battleships, as well as the hardest hitting guns. However, UK guns lack a fast reload speed (due to the system used to class their gunners) and UK torpedoes are the slowest and have the shortest range (albeit high damage). Players gain access to battleships and heavy cruisers at lower levels than the other navies. UK aircraft are also the most durable in the game.

Jahrhundert bildete sich eine Flotte aus Kriegsschiffen, die ständig bemannt und unterhalten wurde. Kategorie:Stub

  • The Royal Navy was formally created as the national naval force of England in 1660, following the Restoration of King Charles II to the throne. It became the naval force of the Kingdom of Great Britain after the Union between England and Scotland in 1707 which merged the English Navy with the (much smaller) Royal Scots Navy, though the two began operating together from the time of the Union of the Crowns.
  • Britain used to have, without doubt, the world's greatest and proudest empire, and this is because it used to have the greatest and proudest Royal Navy. With its powerful yet well spoken and courteous flotilla, highly polished brass fittings and shoes, it waltzed into the puny lesser countries; invading the lands of the stupid, inferior natives for medals gunnery practice and with any luck a ‘bag-off’ ashore. But what is it about the Navy that makes it so great? It is, of course, the uniform.
  • HMS Pinafore was an operetta about a Royal Navy sailor, written and composed by Gilbert and Sullivan in 1878. (Star Trek: Insurrection) HMS Bounty was a 18th century Royal Navy ship that was well known for having its crew mutiny against its captain, William Bligh. In 2285, Doctor Leonard McCoy dubbed a captured Klingon Bird-of-Prey HMS Bounty in a "fine sense of historical irony." Admiral James T. Kirk continued in his log, stating, "like those mutineers of five hundred years ago, we too have a hard choice to make." (VOY: "Year of Hell, Part II"; Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
  • After Europe have fallen to the Chimera in 1950, the Royal Navy was tasked in defending the United Kingdom should the Chimera make an amphibious attack or invasion on the British Isles.

Distress calls reported huge freak waves overwhelming the fleet, despite it being an otherwise calm sea. By morning, all 96 ships were found washed up on the coast of France. Only seventeen bodies were found, all of which are dead by suicide. Also, the ship's bilges were filled with a unidentified, but classified substance.
  • The Royal Navy of the United Kingdom is the oldest of HM Armed Forces (and is therefore known as the Senior Service). From the beginning of the 18th century until well into the 20th century it was the most powerful navy in the world, playing a key part in establishing the British Empire as the dominant world power from 1815 until the early 1940s. In World War II the Royal Navy operated almost 900 ships. During the Cold War it was transformed into a primarily anti-submarine force, hunting for Soviet submarines, mostly active in the GIUK gap. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, its role for the 21st century has returned to focus on global expeditionary operations.

  • The Royal Navy is charged by the Crown with keeping peace in the Caribbean, protecting the shipping lanes, and most important (to most of them), capturing pirates. Unfortunately for the Crown, some Navy Officers aren't as honest as perhaps they should be. The Caribbean is as corrupt as it is beautiful, and it has proven easy to grow lax so far from home. Instead of protecting civilians, many Navy officials extort gold under the pretense of "taxes" and generally oppress anyone they think they can push around. Some officers and guards can be bribed –– others turn their heads when crimes are committed. Though their Black Guard counterparts are stronger, all Navy personnel are still formidable fighters and should be approached with great caution.

During the Cold War, it was transformed into a primarily anti-submarine force, hunting for Soviet submarines, mostly active in the North Atlantic Ocean. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, its role for the 21st century has returned to focus on global expeditionary (blue water) operations.
