Republic of Fiji Navy
Military unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fijian Navy was created when Fiji ratified the recently created United Nations Convention on Laws of the Sea.[1] The Convention established that maritime nation had an Exclusive Economic Zone of 200 kilometres, which extended Fiji's waters twentyfold, from 50,000 square miles (130,000 km2) to over 1,000,000 square miles (2,600,000 km2).
