In August 2019, the Grand Duke created a Naval Detachment of the Royal Guards. This small division undertook its first shakedown cruise by utilizing a canoe to explore a five mile stretch of the Susquehanna River in north eastern Pennsylvania. After completing their initial training and readiness drills, the Naval Detachment participated in [[Exercise: Westarctic Chill]] in Dundas, Ontario with the officers of the [[Slabovia]]n "Navey." | |||
The officers of the Naval Detachment maintain their same rank and insignia as when they are serving as standard Royal Guards. Their uniform consists of a light blue top worn with dungarees. | |||
