Sicilian Arab Navy
From Jonsworld
The Sicilian Arab Navy is the sea-based branch of the Sicilian Defense Forces. Sicilian Navy ships carry the prefix SKS. Today the Sicilian navy is very modern and most of the large ships were commissioned in the post-Cold War era. The Sicilian navy has some relatively large ships in the fleet, despite the smallness of the country, primarily due to its strategic maritime location as the INTO member controlling the central Mediterranean.
