Operational Navy

Operational Navy refers to the naval forces of a nation that are actively deployed and ready for missions, as opposed to those that are in reserve or under maintenance. It encompasses ships, submarines, aircraft, and personnel that are strategically positioned and trained to carry out maritime operations, including defense, deterrence, and humanitarian assistance. The goal of an operational navy is to ensure maritime security, project power, and support national interests on the seas, maintaining a presence and readiness to respond to various situations or threats as they arise.
