        There are: Stella Maris and Lost Wisdom are both in the 1v1 ladder map pool. Possibly they're not in your pool specifically, because the pool changes depending on your rating bracket.

        Both maps are quite large for a 1v1, so they've been selected for higher rating brackets.

            Its very rare/non-existent that good navy maps are smaller than 15x15km. Good 1v1 maps with navy gameplay included are most often very overwhelming to play for lower rated players.

            For instance a map like roanoke will likely become a 60+ minute game ender situation for many <500 rated players. Similarly a map like bermuda locket is hated by the gross of <1k rated players, because it requires too much apm to play.

              In addition small and "easy" navy maps tend to have weird gameplay mechanics, like frigate rushes that decide a game in the first 5 minutes. Or kamikazing an acu into opponents naval facts. But if you have a suggestion for a good navy map for lower rated players, Id like to hear it ofcourse

                    White Fire is fairly noob-friendly navy

                      White fire is more like a ~1k map imo and it does have some weird gameplay mechanics. It receives a lot of criticism in the highest bracket, but it could be a decent pick for the mid bracket I think
