Naval Courts
Naval Courts are specialized military courts that handle legal matters related to naval personnel and operations. They address offenses committed by members of the navy, ensuring that military laws and regulations are upheld. These courts can deal with a range of issues, from minor infractions to serious crimes, and their procedures are distinct from civilian courts.
The primary purpose of Naval Courts is to maintain discipline and order within the naval forces. They operate under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and can impose various penalties, including confinement, fines, or discharge from service. This system helps ensure that naval operations run smoothly and that service members are held accountable for their actions.
