history: The Navy is almost never mentioned compared to the Army and Marines where I'm from.
knowledge: A navy or maritime force is a fleet of waterborne military vessels (watercraft) and its associated naval aviation, both sea-based and land-based.
response: Oh, that's interesting. Do you know why? I know the Navy has watercraft, but also some aviation.

I don't know. Maritime war is so big, yet it is really underexaggerated at times.
knowledge: It is the branch of a nation's armed forces principally designated for naval and amphibious warfare; namely, lake-borne, riverine, littoral, or ocean-borne combat operations and related functions.
response: Yes, the Navy can fight over the sea, or even lakes and rivers!

So what makes them so different? Do they just train for sea combat and train to use boats instead of other equipment?
knowledge: The strategic offensive role of a navy is projection of force into areas beyond a country's shores (for example, to protect sea-lanes, ferry troops, or attack other navies, ports, or shore installations).
response: The entire strategic point of the navy is to protect the borders and shores of a country

That makes sense, since all borders eventually end up at some form of water, at least continental wise.
knowledge: The strategic defensive purpose of a navy is to frustrate seaborne projection-of-force by enemies.
response: Yep, the Navy's purpose basically is to counter the enemy's ability to project force via the sea.

I guess I never considered the strategic side of the armed forces as much as the physical side.

response: I see. Well, navies are also sometimes called maritime forces.
