Established over a century ago, it operates a fleet of ships, submarines, and aircraft to ensure national security, safeguard sea trade routes, and participate in international missions. The navy also plays a vital role in search and rescue operations and disaster relief within Greece’s territories. It maintains a tradition of naval excellence rooted in Greece’s historic maritime heritage, supporting both defensive and strategic objectives to protect the country’s sovereignty and maritime assets.
