The Fleet Air Arm (FAA) is the aviation branch of the Royal Navy in the United Kingdom. It operates naval aircraft from aircraft carriers and other ships, providing air support for naval operations. The FAA plays a crucial role in maritime defense, reconnaissance, and anti-submarine warfare. Established in 1924, the Fleet Air Arm has evolved to include various aircraft types, such as helicopters and fixed-wing planes. It works closely with other branches of the military, including the Royal Air Force and British Army, to ensure effective joint operations and enhance the UK's overall defense capabilities.
