Royal Saudi Naval Forces — Saudi Armed Forces — Force Atlas

概要

王國的海軍，依地理分為兩片海域上的兩支艦隊——位於海灣朱拜勒的東部艦隊與位於紅海吉達的西部艦隊——因為沙烏地阿拉伯是唯一一個出口體系在兩片海域各有出口的海灣產油國。

廣泛活動地區: The Gulf coast from Jubail and the Red Sea coast from Jeddah, with the Bab el-Mandeb approaches
重要歷史: The Saudi navy is organised around a fact of geography no other Gulf navy shares: the kingdom has two coasts, and its export system uses both. The Eastern Fleet at the King Abdulaziz Naval Base at Jubail covers the Gulf, where Ras Tanura and the offshore fields sit; the Western Fleet at the King Faisal Naval Base at Jeddah covers the Red Sea, where the East–West pipeline's outlet at Yanbu is the kingdom's alternative to Hormuz. The service comprises the two fleets, a naval aviation group, marine infantry and naval special security units, and it has been re-equipping its Western Fleet with new frigates and corvettes through the 2020s. The Houthi blockade of Saudi ports at Bab el-Mandeb in July 2026 made the Western Fleet's sea the one where the kingdom's escape route from the strait is contested — which is why this module treats the two fleets as two different problems.
優勢: Two fleets on two seas, a new generation of Western Fleet combatants, and basing on both coasts of the export system.
限制: A service whose two halves cannot reinforce each other except around the Arabian peninsula, facing an asymmetric threat at Bab el-Mandeb that frigates were not designed against. This module records no vessels by hull, no deployments and no operations; nothing it has read establishes what the Saudi navy did in the current war.
