.navy is a proposed Top Level Domain (TLD) that was successfully delegated to the Root Zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) on June 4, 2014. The applicant for this TLD was Rightside/Demand Media (United TLD Holdco Ltd.). This domain is intended to serve as a recognized and accessible namespace for the vast community of naval veterans, active duty personnel, family members, supportive organizations, and civilians. The mission of .navy is to increase choice, expression, affinity, and relevance for this large and passionate group on the web.
However, the application for .navy faced opposition from several national governments due to its potential for confusion with official government agencies. The United States, Australia, and India issued Early Warnings to ICANN, strongly recommending that Demand Media withdraw their application. Their concerns were based on the negative impact this similarity could have on end-users and national armed forces services, potentially causing irreparable harm to safety and security. Despite these objections, .navy was still delegated to the Root Zone in 2014. There are no known restrictions for owning a .navy domain beyond ICANN's standard registration policies and the specific requirements outlined in the Registry Agreement.
