The '''Molossian Navy''' is a military force operated by the [[Republic of Molossia]]. It has engaged in several conflicts and, although its primary purpose is ceremonial duties and defense of Molossian homeland. The Molossian Naval Academy is one of the oldest and most respected [[micronation|micronational]] educational institutions and several members of Westarctica's [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|Hereditary Nobility]] have graduated from the program as commissioned naval officers.

==Creation of the Navy==
In the late 90s, Molossia's only military unit was the Molossian Army, which was headed by [[President Kevin Baugh]]. The army was almost exclusively a "phantom force" with little ability to engage in actual armed combat. Despite this fact, the International Olympic Committee used the existence of Molossia's army as part of its justification for a threatened lawsuit over Molossia's use of the Olympic rings in the logo of the 2000 Intermicronational Olympics. To preemptively combat this attack, President Baugh simply disbanded the army.

On 4 June 2005, the Molossian Navy was formed and its flagship, the ''M.S. Wombat'', was commissioned. At the same time, the ground combat unit, the Molossian Naval Infantry was created. At this time, the name of the Molossian Military academy was changed to the Molossian Naval Academy.

==Naval Academy==
