Naval Forces of the UEG
- The State of Humanities Naval Forces -
As of 2362, there exists two distinct branches of the UEGs military arm that control military warships, that is the UNSC and the new Colonial Military Authority. The UNSC is the predominant force, existing for over two hundred years it is tasked with the defense of the state, with a primary focus being on internal threats and peacekeeping, since the end of the interplanetary war the military forces of the UNSC have seen a serious reduction in operational capability as spending is no longer deemed to be important as threats to humanity that require such capability have dissappeared. UNSC forces have been further degraded with the establishment of the CMA, as the UEG reallocated ships and personnel to the new organisation as it set its sights outside of the sol system, this reallocation has introduced an interservice rivalry as the CMA and UNSC fight over the limited budget provided to them.
The Colonial Military authority was created for the sole purpose of defending humanities colonies from all threats and to prepare itself to do so for extrasolar colonies, its budget has increased relative to the UNSC as more resources are provided for the extrasolar colonial mission. Despite the relatively peaceful last two hundred years humanity still deals with internal security threats, disagreements and revolts within the solar system, overpopulation has been a significant factor in the unrest.
Distribution of forces between the two branches in terms of military warships favours the UNSC however its expected more UNSC ships will be reallocated and more ships will be created to meet demand in the future colonies.
Naval Doctrine:Naval Doctrine has developed at a snails pace, as open warfare has not occured in over two hundred years, the need for military forces has continued to be questioned, as such doctrine has moved on little from the interplanetary war and both the CMA and UNSC use the same basic tactics, that being the belief that to destroy an enemy naval force the most important thing is the mass deployment of missiles in what is known as an alpha strike, after such a deployment carrier based fighters finish the enemy force off while also protecting the friendly force from retribution.
This basic doctrine has not changed however the distribution of forces has, with the CMA coming into existence forces began to be spread out across the colonies and plans drawn up for colonial protection when the new colonies are established in extrasolar territories. The UNSC meanwhile has returned to the Earth-Lunar orbit and is satisified with its role of protecting Earth and the Moon.
Naval Organisation
Military Ship Designs and Ship NumbersListed below are the designs and classifications for all currently operating naval ships, currently no difference exists between the UNSC and CMA when it comes to the military ships they operate. humanity used to operate, destroyers, cruisers and larger vessels however these vessels were scrapped during the 23rd century.
Classifications
Strike Fighter - 400-500 tons - Carrier Group Defense and to close and engage with the enemy
Corvette - 4,000-7,500 tons - Orbital defense and convoy escort mission
Frigate - 22,500 tons - General purpose main line ship, capable of long term endurance requirements
Carrier - 28,000 tons - Provides a fast strike package and defense capability.
Heavy Frigates - 30,000 tons - Heavily armed and up armoured frigates with the primary mission of eliminating enemy frigates.

The
Chares class Strikefighter was designed as a cheap fighter for use by light carriers, featuring a minaturised naval coilgun and a speed of 9000 km/s it is capable of intercepting enemy missile attacks and when utilised in a squadron it can support direct engagement against enemy vessels, Chares class fighters used to number in the hundreds however only thirty six operational fighters still remain serving on UNSC and CMA vessels.

The
Fifth Winter class corvette is one of the most numerous large scale warships, capable of operating for up ot a year at a time, it is one of the more modern naval vessels in service, being designed and produced in the early 2320s, it features two Mk 10 Halberd naval coilguns for close range defense against enemy ships, while its missile defense consists of two M840H BBulwark point defense guns, finally its most impressive feature is the two M24 Defender missile pods which allow the launch of up to twenty-four Defender missiles, such a volley is capable of crippling even a frigate sized vessel.

The
Punic class frigate is the oldest ship in active service, produced between 2301-2309, the Punic's purpose is a general purpose vessel able to fufil multiple roles, its large armament and defensive systems let it fulfil both a defensive and offensive role, while its onboard marine complement ensures its own protection and the escorting and policing duties required around major spaceports, its hangar deck provides additional vigilance and operational capability in atmosphere and during checkpoint checks in space. the Punic's cost has seen only ten vessels constructed.

The
Trafalgar class Carrier is a rare sight, it operates close to major bodies such as Mars and Earth, with rare appearances in the outer system, it is capable of deploying 18 Chares strike fighters for support of naval operations, never alone it is traditionally escorted by two to four frigates. Its cost has seen it remain in port and training standards are low.

The
Burlington class heavy frigate is the largest military space vessel still in service, originally designed for combat against frigate class ships it now fulfils a capital ship role, with only two in active service under the UNSC its role is now envisioned as the leader of taskforces and is only employed in the most troubling of situations, featuring the largest array of weapons and defensive measures it is capable of taking on an entire frigate squadron on its own.
