Editing Moldavia (section)

===Fleet===
An early mention of a Moldavian [[naval fleet]] is found in connection with the rule of [[Aron Tiranul]], who used it to help [[List of rulers of Wallachia|Wallachian ruler]] [[Michael the Brave]] establish his control over the [[Chilia branch]] of the [[Danube]] and [[Dobruja]].

The Treaty of Adrianople provided for a Moldavian self-defense naval force, to be composed of [[caicque]] vessels. [[Schooner]]s armed with [[cannon]]s were first built in the 1840s. Along with patrolling the Danube, these made their way on its tributaries, the [[Siret River|Siret]] and the [[Prut River]].
