Irish Naval Service

The Irish Naval Service is Ireland’s naval branch, responsible for maritime defense, patrol, and security within Irish waters. It operates a fleet of ships and submarines to prevent smuggling, rescue vessels in distress, and protect Ireland’s fisheries and maritime environment. The service also collaborates with international agencies for search and rescue missions, disaster response, and enforcing maritime laws. As a professional military organization, it plays a key role in safeguarding Ireland’s sovereignty and maintaining safe and secure navigation in the surrounding seas.
