⚓ National Navy of ENAT HAGER
Establish a highly professional, well-trained and accountable navy to protect ENAT HAGER’s territorial waters, coastline, ports, offshore infrastructure and lawful maritime trade. The navy should follow recognised international best practices, build deep maritime expertise and maintain a capable fleet of modern warships suited to national defence and maritime security.
Acquire and maintain appropriately sized patrol ships, offshore patrol vessels, frigates and support ships according to a published maritime risk assessment. Prioritise reliable defensive protection, search-and-rescue support and safe operation.
Create a naval academy and specialist schools for seamanship, navigation, engineering, logistics, communications, medical support, maritime law and leadership. Require recurring qualifications, exercises and professional evaluation.
Safeguard territorial waters, ports, shipping lanes, fisheries, undersea cables and offshore energy or water infrastructure. Coordinate with the coast guard and civilian maritime authorities.
Use lawful, proportionate maritime monitoring, navigation safety systems and information-sharing to identify distress, pollution, illegal fishing and security risks while respecting privacy and international law.
Maintain search-and-rescue readiness, disaster relief, medical evacuation and support for vessels in distress. Train crews to protect civilian life and comply with maritime humanitarian obligations.
Develop safe dockyards, repair facilities, spare-parts supply and engineering skills. Use lifecycle cost assessments, independent inspections and transparent procurement to keep ships seaworthy and available.
