List of Ships of the Risevan Royal Navy

This page is a list of the ships in the Risevan Royal Navy, or RKN, currently in commission. It also illustrates the naming tradition of ships in the Navy.

Aircraft Carriers

The longstanding tradition with regards to aircraft carriers has been to name them after mountains, while battleships were named after rivers. The first aircraft carrier to serve in the RKN was KV Kaona, launched in 1915 and completed 1917. With the advent of nuclear carriers as well as the gradual demise of battleships as a potent force on the seas, the river titles of the latter gradually were used for the former, in a sense affirming the nuclear carrier succeeding the battleship as queen of the seas.

The Risevan Navy presently operates a total of eight carriers; four of these are nuclear powered, and the other four conventional. This gives it the largest fleet of carriers in the world; Neissara has five nuclear carriers but has no conventional carriers.
