The '''Royal Navy''' is a maritime combat force and branch of the [[British Armed Forces|Armed Forces]] of the [[United Kingdom|Kingdom of Great Britain]], alongside the [[British Army]] and, later, the {{Wiki|Royal Air Force}}.

From the end of the 17th century until well into the 20th, it was the single largest and most powerful navy in the [[Earth|world]], playing a key part in establishing the [[British Empire]] as the dominant world power, and patrolling its colonial waters.

Many of those who would later join a life of [[piracy]] during the early 18th century, such as [[Benjamin Hornigold]], [[Edward Kenway]], and [[Edward Thatch]] had served in the Royal Navy as [[Privateers|privateers]], until the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht, which had ended hostilities between Britain and [[Spain]]. Following the conversion of most privateers into pirates, they frequently targeted the [[Ships|vessels]] of the [[Spanish Navy]], and occasionally the Royal Navy, throughout the [[Caribbean|West Indies]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

Later, Great Britain was at war with [[France]] at the 1730's where they often clashed near [[Saint Domingue]]. The Assassin Adewale would occasionally attack Royal Navy ships who were attacking French [[Slave ships]] during this time.

During the [[Seven Years' War|Seven Years War,]] the British Royal Navy fought the French Navy during the early years of the war. The British suffered heavy losses especially during a disastrous battle near [[St. John's]] where the British lost a [[Man O' War]] and several [[brig|brigs]] to the French. As a result, British naval strength was weak as the French controlled several [[forts]] and settlements while the British only had [[Halifax]] as its only stronghold. By 1756, few Royal Navy ships patrolled the seas despite being vastly outnumbered by the French. The defection of [[Shay Cormac]] from the Assassins, however, changed the tide of the war and the Royal Navy regained its strength. All forts and settlements under French control in the North Atlantic and [[River Valley]] were captured by Shay, now operating as a Privateer, using his ship the [[Morrigan]], further establishing their power at [[Canada]]. Later, British ships under the command of Generals Jeffrey Amherst, Charles Lawrence, Edward Whitmore and Colonel [[James Wolfe]] [[Siege of Louisbourg|besieged]] the Fortress of Louisbourg under the command of the Chevalier de Drucour, where the Royal Navy officer [[James Cook]] lent Shay the use of the [[HMS Pembroke]] in destroying French reinforcements under the command of Adewale aboard the [[Experto Crede]]. The British succeeded in capturing Louisbourg, thus turning the tide of the war in their favour. Later the Royal Navy was again victorious over the invading French fleet at the [[Battle of Quiberon Bay]] through the efforts of Shay, ensuring safety from French invasion until the end of the war at 1763. The Royal Navy became the most powerful navy in the whole world, ensuring the expansion of Britain's empire.

During the [[American Revolutionary War]], the Royal Navy was responsible for the transportation of [[Loyalists|Loyalist]] troops to and from the theatre of war, and played a significant part in the final outcome of the conflict.<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

During the [[Battle of the Chesapeake]], a British fleet under the command of {{Wiki|Thomas Graves, 1st Baron Graves|Sir Thomas Graves}} was engaged and strategically defeated by a [[French Navy|French fleet]], led by [[François-Joseph Paul de Grasse|Admiral de Grasse]], supported by an [[Assassins|Assassin]] vessel, the ''[[Aquila]]''. The ship also participated in several smaller campaigns against the British up and down the colonial coastline.<ref name="AC3" />
