{{version|Heart of Darkness}}
'''Naval technology''' is one of the five major categories of technology. Naval technology includes hardware, innovations or concepts that make your ships better at naval warfare, or perhaps even at more peaceful seafaring tasks.

== Naval subcategories ==

=== Naval Doctrine ===

The Naval Doctrine subcategory improves the Naval Base max level and gives small bonuses to naval units.
