RomanMilitary The Classis Britannica literally, British fleet , in the sense of the fleet in British waters or the fleet of the province of Roman Britain Britannia , rather than the fleet of the state of Britain was a provincial naval fleet of the Roman navy navy of ancient Rome . Its purpose was to control the English Channel and the waters around the Roman province of Britannia . Unlike modern and some contemporary Roman fighting navies , its job was largely the logistical movement of personnel and support, and keeping open communication routes across the Channel.

History Invasion A fleet was originally raised for the Roman invasion of Britain invasion of Britain under Claudius , with the task of bringing an invasion force of 40,000 men from the Roman army , plus supplies, to Iron Age Britain Britain .
