context_page_description: A naval ship is a military ship used by a navy. Naval ships are differentiated from civilian ships by construction and purpose. Generally, naval ships are damage resilient and armed with weapon systems, though armament on troop transports is light or non-existent.
  Naval ships designed primarily for naval warfare are termed warships, as opposed to support or shipyard operations.
