Hwangji Naval Guard

The Hwangji Naval Guard (HNG; Hwangji: 나는 공부가 싫어) also known as the Hwangji Navy or the Hwangji Fleet is the branch of the Hwangji Armed Forces responsible for conducting naval and amphibious operations. The Hwangji Naval Guard is part of Her Grand Majesty's Naval Forces along with the Corps of Royal Marines. The Hwangji Naval Guard maintains a technologically sophistcated fleet consisting of 1 fleet carrier, 2 landing platform helicopter, 3 ampihbious transport docks, 15 destroyers, 10 frigates, 9 corvettes, 68 patrol vessels, 21 mine warfare ships, 5 nuclear fleet submarines and 7 diesel fleet submarines. As of December 2022, there are 155 commissioned vessels including the 14 vessels from the Naval Auxiliary Guard. The Naval Air Guard consists of 116 rotary and fixed-wing aircraft.

The Hwangji Naval Guard was formed as the Royal Navy in 1674 by King Hung Hyonjun in an attempt to consolidate the military forces of Hwangchu based on foreign concepts and bureaucratic management techniques. Since the foundation in 1674, the Hwangji Naval Guard was heavily involved during the attempt to repel the Selengerian invasion in 1718. Though the Navy scored key victories in the Battle of Dangcheon and the Battle of Sinhae, they were soundly routed in the Battle of Nasai with almost the entire fleet being sunk in the engagement. The Royal Navy was absorbed into the Selengerian Navy until the formation of the State of Hwangchu which led to the re-establishment of the Royal Navy.

From there, the Royal Navy played a key part in the protection of the sea lines of communication during the 20th century and maintaining the neutrality of Hwangchu during the Great Kesh War. During the mid 1950s, the Royal Navy became the site of military dissidents as the Navy became more isolated from politics by the Army who were in control of the government. Indeed, many of the most notable political dissidents were usually either serving or former members of the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy would eventually be the leading force behind the Yellow Revolution with the Navy isolating Army units stationed on the various islands whilst Naval Shore Defence Detachments were landed in the city of Ochae by the Navy to seize key government locations. Upon the end of the revolution, the Royal Navy was renamed to the Naval Guard and took center stage as the most senior of the branches.

Since then, the Naval Guard has primarily been involved in counteracting actions taken by Selengeria, this took prominence in Daeiksu Incident in 2004 where a pair of Selengerian patrol vessels fired on the fishing boat Daeiksu which had inadvertently crossed into Selengerian waters. This led to a gun battle between the 2 patrol vessels and the Ochae-Class Corvette GHS Cheon-Il which led to the sinking of the 2 patrol vessels.
