Navy of Dexistan

The Navy of the People's Democratic Republic of Dexistan is the sea force and one of the three branches of the Dexistanian military. It was founded shortly after Dexistan was declared a nation on January 26th, 2020. It has seen limited combat and is poorly maintained both due to a low budget and low morale among the sailors.

Navy Strength and Size
The standing size of the peacetime navy of Dexistan is around 20,000 to 25,000 sailors with over 40 active ships. This force can be bolstered by an extra 25 to 30 thousand in times of war, as well as many as 50 extra ships including attack gun boats, cruisers dreadnoughts, and other heavy battleships. The Navy has also has a small contingent of submarines but it is still largely experimental. The training in the Dexistanian Navy is short but grueling but deployment is infrequent. Conscription is an option for the Navy but has never been exercised even in times of great crisis such as either of the Great Realm Wars. Rifles and other primary weapons are usually only carried in ceremonies and the standard sailor carries a Makarov sidearm and the standard knife of the Dexistanian Army, mostly used for cutting ropes and nets.
