CODING IZ KOOL
The naval tradition of Bokoro is an ancient one. Since ancient times, when men first arrived in the region and took to western and central Africas vast river systems, and major lakes - the war canoe was used to dominate trade routes, strengthen lines of communication, and project the power of tribal lords. This tradition evolved into early sailing vessels, where the tales of ancient kings venturing to and discovering the Americas hundreds of years before Columbus and the Vikings, in search of knowledge. This tradition stuck within the hearts of the Bokoroian people, whose shielded domain made life along the coast fruitful that is, until the arrival of European colonial powers whose control over Bokoro meant separating the people from the sea. However, upon independence, Bokoro looked again to the blue depths to find the ultimate expressions of freedom and divine power. Out of this tradition, the modern Bokoro Navy was established in 1969, as a coastal defense force which has struggled to make headway into a blue water force until recent years, under visionary leadership, and with the support of every Bokoroian as the senior service of the armed forces. As of 1997, the Bokoroian Navy operated a budget of 1.1 Billion dollars, to support a fleet of 12 warships and 4 Submarines with XXX, XXX personnel. |
Naval Installations and Shore Facilities
- The Bokoroian Navy operates a number of installations and shore facilities throughout the Republic and aboard, in support of its fleet assets and personnel towards its mission of providing for the defense of the maritime zones of Bokoro. These installations include Naval Bases, where warships, personnel, and maintenance facilities are permanently based, Naval Arsenals, where munitions and weapon systems are stored and/or tested, Naval Stations, which are smaller bases and piers where ships are docked and/or forward deployed temporarily and can house a number of support facilities. Lastly, the Navy also operates Air Stations to house and maintain its aircraft when not deployed at sea, and Marine Corps camps where the naval infantry are based when not on deployment.

Warships of the Bokoroian Navy
- Since the founding of the modern Bokoroian Navy, it has maintained a modern fleet of multi-purpose warships that have been geared towards coastal defense and littoral operations. As such, from 1969 until the mid-1990s, the fleet consisted mostly of small patrol and riverine craft, until establishment of a naval arms agreement with Brazil and acquisition of several vessels from the USSR. Priority has been given towards the expansion of domestic shipyards and investment into domestic shipbuilders for the creation of a naval industrial complex to support the expansion of the Navy into a large, and modern force. This expansion would not only enhance the capability of the Navy but add hundreds if not thousands of jobs to the economy of Bokoro. Indeed, since the ratification o those two international arms agreements, Navy Command has begun to invest its energy into R&D efforts to develop and produce fleet assets 100% domestically. In the mean time, however, the fleet has benefitted from international partnerships to acquire new vessels to meet the Navys changing mission profile.
