Somali Navy

The Somali Navy is the naval warfare service branch of the Somali Armed Forces. There was a long period of inactivity following the collapse of the central government. However in 2021 Reuters published photos showing a total of three small patrol craft operating in Mogadishu harbor. In 2024, after the Ethiopia-Somaliland MOU, Turkey and Somalia signed an agreement by which Turkey would provide maritime security support to Somalia, and at the same time carry out oil drilling exploration off the Somali coast.
