The East Asian Federation Naval Self-Defense Force, or FMSDF, is the branch of the East Asian Federation armed forces responsible for naval operations. Like the Federation Land Self-Defense Force, and unlike the Federation Air Forces, the Naval Self-Defense Force is restricted to combat operations inside of territorial boundaries, with exception only in the cases of direct support of the Air Forces. The primary mission of the Naval Self-Defense Force is to patrol the exclusive economic zone of the East Asian Federation and serve as a deterrent against external invasion.

The Naval Self-Defense Force is considered a blue water navy, and has an extensive fleet consisting of over 390 combat vessels, including 3 aircraft carriers, 2 helicopter carriers, 38 submarines, 85 destroyers and frigates, and 166 fast-attack patrol ships. As a part of the armed forces organization of the East Asian Federation, the Naval Self-Defense Force operates no aircraft outside of its supercarriers' complements. All other aircraft on FMSDF ships are operated by the Air Forces.

The primary ship prefix for the Naval Self-Defense Force is FNS. Ships that can patrol beyond territorial borders in joint operations are prefixed NSDF.
