SHIPS
Here is AFOH's fleet of ships

Super-warship Battle Groups
These are the four super-warship battle groups of AFOH. They contain the fleet's most powerful surface warships, including the flagships of high-ranking officers. Listed under each are the major fighting units only (5 super warships and 1 carrier for air support). During combat missions additional ships may be added, including other major units of the same class, escorts, submarines and, occasionally, flying ships.

Battle group commanders and assistant commanders can command any number of battle groups when authority is granted by Admiral Of The Navy HMSHOMEMADE. In an emergency, they can command any 2 battle groups except A Force without prior authority.

A Force

Leader: Admiral Of The Navy HMSHOMEMADE, Second In Command: Base Admiral Like a boss



A Force is the premiere battle group of AFOH, and has the best balance between air and surface firepower. It can only be commanded by the Admiral of the Navy, and is usually employed against the strongest enemy formations.

1. Homemade Battlecarrier VI - flagship

2. Le Patchwork Mk 1

3. Razor

4. Executioner I

5. Agenda

6. Colbert - aircraft carrier

F Force:

Leader: Upper Admiral I am That Guy, Second In Command: Commander Ccrazyninja



F Force is a heavy battle group optimized for surface combat. Because of this mission profile, air support is provided not by a dedicated carrier but by a super warship embarking a large air wing.

1. Executioner II - flagship

2. Supernova

3. Vehemence

4. Judge

5. Mantis 2.5

6. Tonnant - super warship with large air wing

O Force

Leader: Chief Admiral Joshninja, Second In Command: Admiral Shinato73



Initially formed as a light, rapid-reaction battle group, O Force has evolved into a heavy battle group with the same mission profile as F Force. It is usually employed as a strategic reserve to counter enemy breakthroughs.

1. Somber Shade - flagship

2. Absolute Justice

3. Savage

4. Jury

5. Stingray

6. Invincible - aircraft carrier

H Force

Leader: Chief Admiral Bouexic, Second In Command: Commander Ej2333



H Force is a rapid-reaction battle group, and is usually employed in economy-of-force missions (i.e. buying time until the heavy battle groups are fully mobilized). It is thus equipped with lighter super warships but its integral air support is almost the same as A Force.

1. Redoutable - flagship

2. Reaper

3. Rapier

4. Marauder

5. Hydra

6. Guichen - carrier hybrid

Surface Action Groups
Aside from the main battle groups, AFOH has specialized battle groups for specific missions, like scouting, fast attack, reconnaissance, interdiction and search & rescue. They can be commanded by battle group commanders or assistant commanders, and are employed either as full formations or in smaller units depending on the need.

Cruiser Divisions
AFOH's powerful cruisers are organized into autonomous divisions when not attached to the main battle groups. They are under the command of Commodore Khoi Tran. There are currently 2 front-line divisions for quick reaction and deployment.

First Cruiser Division

A heavy cruiser division with integral air support, it functions as a rapid reaction force against enemy surface incursions into AFOH territory.


 * Cruiser Killer Kageryū - flagship


 * Heavy Cruiser Intensity


 * Heavy Cruiser Slayer


 * Heavy Cruiser Deutschland


 * Heavy Cruiser Karyū - carrier hybrid


 * Aviation Cruiser Duquesne - carrier hybrid

Second Cruiser Division

A lighter division, it serves as a scouting force for the main fleets and also as convoy escort, training and "showing the flag". It generally consists of older cruisers than those of the 1st Cruiser Division.


 * Cruiser Killer Ersatz Raider - Flagship


 * Heavy Cruiser Admiral Togo


 * Heavy cruiser Admiral Yamamoto


 * Heavy cruiser Tourville


 * Light Cruiser Admiral Von Tirpitz - Anti-air warfare cruiser


 * Aviation Cruiser Izumo - carrier hybrid

F.A.S.T.
AFOH's escorts are organized into autonomous squadrons under the command of the Fast Attack SecTion (F.A.S.T.). The squadron composition may vary depending on the mission. A typical squadron for multi- mission attack and interdiction is shown below.


 * Stealth Destroyer Jean Bart - flagship


 * Stealth Cruiser Duperre


 * Stealth Destroyer Vermont


 * Attack Speedboat Night Raven


 * Attack Speedboat Dark Angel


 * Sub Hunter T10,AR

S.H.A.D.O.W.S.
The Stealthy High-speed Area Denial Operations & Warfare Squadron (S.H.A.D.O.W.S.) is a specialized night attack squadron and is also employed in insertion/extraction of special forces. Comprised entirely of speedy, stealthy night operators, it is commanded from Eagle Eye.


 * Stealth Battleship EagleEye - flagship


 * Stealth Speedboat Sabre


 * Shore Bombardment Platform Punisher


 * Stealth Cruiser Hunter


 * Attack Speedboat Cobra

S.A.R.
AFOH also has specialized squadrons for search and rescue.


 * SAR Speedboat


 * SAR Salvage Vessel

SUBMARINE FORCE
The Submarine Force controls AFOH's submarines, and is organized into squadrons that excel in roles such as area denial, special operations requiring stealth, and the elimination of specific targets in battle situations. It is commanded by Chief Admiral JoshNinja, from Shadow Wolf III. A typical multi-mission squadron is shown below.


 * Shadow Wolf III - flagship


 * SSN


 * Shadow Hawk III


 * I 1 Class Submarine


 * Shadow Wolf II


 * Pluton - submarine hybrid (air support/land attack)

AIR FLEETS
With the rapid evolution of naval warfare brought about by galloping technology, AFOH began forming air fleets to take advantage of the improved power and performance of its new flying ships. Each fleet is composed of multiple units of the same class depending on the mission, and can only be commanded by senior officers (Upper Admiral and up). A typical air fleet consists of 2 capital ships (with 1 functioning as a flagship), 3 - 4 flying carriers, 8 - 12 heavy escorts, and up to 24 medium/light escorts.

1st Air Fleet

The 1st Air Fleet (abbreviated to "1AF") is AFOH's rapid-reaction air battle group.

1. Desecration - flagship/capital ship

2. Devastation - flying carrier (aircraft)

3. Revanche - heavy escort

4. Themis - light escort

Due to its mission profile, 1AF escorts also embark fighters and dive bombers. A separate air group composed of Cobra II attack bombers and Durandal FA-1S fighter-bombers is usually attached to provide heavy, long-range strike capability (although 1AF units cannot embark these aircraft).

2nd Air Fleet

More powerful than 1AF despite its designation, the 2nd Air Fleet ("2AF") incorporates AFOH's newest heavy flying units.

1. Hellfire - flagship/capital ship

2. Venator - flying carrier (Cobra II attack bombers)

3. Hybridland Sea - flying carrier (aircraft)

4. Kaiser - heavy escort

5. Toxin or Dauntless - medium escort

6. Falcon - light escort

Like 1AF, a separate Cobra/Durandal air group is attached to provide the main long-range punch. Although the Cobra IIs are autonomous fighting units with almost unlimited endurance, the Venator is the only ship capable of rearming and servicing them while aloft (the Durandals for now lack their dedicated flying carrier).

RECENT EVENTS
The AFOH's tactics and new major weapons system, the Cobra II attack bomber, proved their worth during two IRF invasions. The conflict started when a fleet of IRF flying ships mounted a raid on the AFOH homeland, hoping their superior weapons would dictate a simple victory. However, they were halted by wave upon wave of Cobras, along with the ships of the 1st Air Fleet (1AF) and the allied UAC. Both sides took heavy casualties before the IRF eventually pulled out, leaving the AFOH defenders bloodied but defiant. The second attack came just days later, with the enemy bringing in flying ships and a big surface fleet with carriers, escorts, super-warships with extensive AA weaponry and fighter jets to counter the Cobras. A daring diversionary charge by a small Venator-led flying ship squadron and hit-and-run attacks by AFOH's vaunted submarine force and destroyers decimated the enemy escorts despite suffering heavy losses, and gave enough time for 1AF and reinforcements from the AIF to arrive. A well-coordinated Cobra II strike, which took out most of the enemy flying ships, and the timely arrival of the sentient Lovecraft and the UAC finally turned the tide. Despite a desperate attempt by the IRF to occupy Hybridland City, with the UAC and AIF clearing the skies of IRF jets, their ground forces were contained and eventually destroyed in intense block-by-block fighting, with AFOH forces in some instances beng helped by UAC Spartans. The reactor meltdown of a crashed IRF flying ship resulted in half of city being evicerated together with the remaining IRF troops, but casualties to AFOH troops and civilians were minimal due to mass evacuations. With the near-total annihilation of their invasion fleet, the IRF withdrew. And despite the heavy price in terms of submarines, destroyers and aircraft lost, the AFOH won a decisive victory.
