| Ensign of the RCN |
The RCN has been around since the 2017 War against the Child Opposers but has been given almost absolutely no previous mention on this blog whatsoever. This post hopes to introduce this forgotten force to the public and outline its importance in Childarian history.
The RCN was founded mid 2017 on the outbreak of war with the Child Opposers, first appearing as a battleship propaganda poster advertising the RCN. A single paper boat was constructed, jokingly called the Bismarck, which became the first ship in the RCN.Although the warship itself played no part in this war the commander of the RCN, Admiral Matthew Johnson helped with the planning of Operation Vodka.
Postwar the navy was given secondary importance and the Bismarck was scrapped after it became too squashed to float properly.
However in mid 2019 at school during a metalwork class I found the discarded hull of a half-complete wooden sailing ship toy for possible conversion. And after extensive bow modifications and the addition of gun turrets and a funnel, the ship was christened the TCS FORMIDIBLE and made the flagship of the Royal Childarian Navy.
The FORMIDABLE served well for about a year, participating in an exercise at a local river.
However, it was mothballed and then scrapped at some point last year, leaving the RCN without a flagship (or any warships for that matter) which we intend to address at some point next year.
Despite the absence of a proper fleet, citizens employed within the navy have gone on to accomplish much, and many are important figures within our government. The RCN shall continue to be important to the DPROC and it's defence, and is still a formidable force with its capable Marine Corps.
