The National Navy ({{langx|fr|Marine togolaise}}) was created on May 1, 1976, to guard the roughly {{convert|34|mi|km}} of [[Republic of Togo]] coast and the seaport of Lomé. It currently has 2 wooden-hulled patrol boats, the ''Kara'' (P 761), and the ''Mono'' (P 762), which have both been in service since 1976.<ref name="marine_presentation">{{cite web|url=http://forcesarmees.tg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=63|title=Marine|publisher=www.forcesarmees.tg|access-date=2011-04-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110316193421/http://forcesarmees.tg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=63|archive-date=2011-03-16|url-status=usurped}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Wertheim|first=Eric|title=The Naval Institute Guide to Combat Fleets of the World: Their Ships, Aircraft, and Systems|publisher=Naval Institute Press|location=Annapolis, MD|date=2007|pages=787|isbn=9781591149552|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TJunjRvplU4C|access-date=18 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140706135825/http://books.google.com/books?id=TJunjRvplU4C|archive-date=6 July 2014|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref> On 7 July 2014, the Republic of Togo navy received a RPB 33 patrol boat that was named ''Agou'' (P 763).<ref name="janes2014">{{cite web|url=http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35432:togo-receives-defender-patrol-boat-from-united-states&catid=51:Sea&Itemid=106|title=Togo gets third defender patrol boat|publisher=IHS Jane's 360|access-date=31 August 2014|date=7 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180115124805/http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35432:togo-receives-defender-patrol-boat-from-united-states&catid=51:Sea&Itemid=106|archive-date=15 January 2018|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Currently, the navy's chief of staff is [[Ship-of-the-Line Captain|ship captain]] Atiogbé Ametsipe.<ref name="marine_chefdetatmajor">{{cite web|url=http://forcesarmees.tg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=50|title=Le Chef d'Etat Major de l'armée de la Marine|publisher=www.forcesarmees.tg|access-date=2011-04-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110316194258/http://forcesarmees.tg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=50|archive-date=2011-03-16|url-status=usurped}}</ref>
