In brief

The naval service of the Romanian Armed Forces, whose own organisation page names two commands — the Fleet and the River Flotilla — a naval logistic base, and beneath them the frigate flotilla, the marine infantry regiment and the divizioane, groups and centres. The two commands, the flotilla and the regiment are authored; the divizioane are below this atlas’s floor.

Broad area of activity
Romania’s Black Sea coast, its lagoons and the Danube frontage: the Fleet for the sea and the River Flotilla for the river, on the service’s own division of responsibility.
Notable history
The service’s history pages date the modern navy from the union of the Wallachian and Moldavian river components into a Danube flotilla corps on 22 October 1860 and the creation of a Sea Division in 1896. The present shape is a 2006 settlement: on 1 May 2006 the Fleet Command was formed from the naval operational command and the frigate flotilla took its present name, and in 2015 the river service was raised again to a River Flotilla Command. The marine infantry battalion became a regiment on 1 June 2018.
Strengths
A complete published organisation, from command to divizion, in the service’s own words: the Fleet Command lists its subordinate formations, the River Flotilla states its subordination to the Naval Forces Staff, and each formation page gives lineage and mission. For a module concerned with the Black Sea and the Danube corridor, Romania’s is the one navy on the western shore whose structure the state itself publishes.
Limitations
The divizioane are named and refused as below the floor, and no vessel, base, station or readiness state is recorded anywhere in the branch; the record is the organisation, not its order of battle. The service’s organisation page carries no mission text of its own, so the service-level description here is assembled from its formation pages.

Subordinate formations

Rows are layout only — position and order carry no hierarchy, importance, sequence or strength. Every record shown is an immediate subordinate of the selected organisation.
