The navy is the part of a country's military that fights on water using boats. People in the navy are called sailors. The navy is mostly made up of warships. It may also have its own air force and soldiers.

Many people also belive the term "navy" will be used if/when we develop proficient space travel and may one day build a defence "fleet" of "ships/naval vessels" that roam space.
