On 07 January 2022, the Armed Forces were reformed, and much of the Naby was modernized following the Occidian and Delveran military systems, that revoked many ranks within the navy and changed its name.

Founding
The Imperial and Royal Navy was founded on 26 November 2014 as the Royal Navy of Ruthenia, few days after the foundation of the Kingdom of Ruthenia. The navy was originally, and still have very much of its primary function, intended to be a defensive force to protect the access of Ruthenia to the Gurguéia River, a river which is the natural border of the Principality of St. Peter and St. Paul and crosses the Principality of St. Stephen, which also forms the Lake of Dead River (Lago do Rio Morto, in Portuguese).

Reorganization
Following the signature of the Karno-Ruthenian Compromise of 2016, the armed forces were readapted and entire hierarchy, nomenclature and training program were reconsidered. They use the Austro-Hungarian model to make patents and the army hierarchy. With the formation of a better organized General Staff of the Armed Forces, there was also a profound change in the attitude of the military, who have adopted a more interventionist attitude towards the military policies of the Empire. The best example of this is intervention in the Lundener Civil War.

Reform
On 07 January 2022, the Armed Forces were reformed after the approval of the law presented by the Comittee for the Armed Forces during the III Legislature, and much of the Navy was modernized following the Occidian and Delveran military systems, that revoked many ranks within the navy and changed its name.

Rank and structure
Created with 20 ranks, after the Reform of 2022, the structure was reduced to the current form.

Structure
The headquarters of the Imperial and Royal Navy is located in Alto da Solidão, Kingdom of Ruthenia.
