The Romanian Naval Forces ( Romanian Forțele Navale Române ) are a part of the Romanian army .

history

Due to the geographical conditions and strategic location on the Danube Delta and the Black Sea coast , naval units have always been of great importance in the area of ​​today's Romania. The river was already used in antiquity and at times served the Romans as a natural border, which they also defended with the help of a fleet .

The Romanian Navy, as we know it today, emerged in the course of the establishment of the nation state between the Romanian Revolution of 1848 and the establishment of the Kingdom of Romania (1881).

  • The Fulgerul - one of the first Romanian warships

  • The destroyer Regele Ferdinand (1935)

The years since the revolution of 1989 and the associated reorientation of the country towards Western Europe brought numerous changes. With the participation in NATO's Partnership for Peace program, which has been ongoing since 1994 , a rapprochement with the alliance system began, which culminated in 2004 with Romania's accession to NATO. For the Navy, as for the entire armed forces, this meant a complete restructuring and restructuring of personnel and technology. T. continues to this day.

organization

In the case of the navy, a distinction is still made today between the sea fleet and the river fleet. The river fleet supports the guard, defends the Danube Delta and secures the border rivers. The marine fleet is stationed on the Black Sea, the river navy in Tulcea .

The Romanian naval forces have a strength of 5,500 men. In addition to the two fleets, they have other operational units. These are: the marines , the helicopter squadron and the combat divers.

The Navy operates several facilities for the training and further education of its personnel. The training of the next generation of officers, for example, takes place at the Mircea cel Batran Marine Academy. In addition, the naval forces also use the training ship Mircea .
