fleets
Navy's vessel collections
Fleets is the plural of fleet—groups of ships, vehicles, or aircraft operating together under common ownership or command: The company operates fleets of delivery trucks across three states.
A nation's naval fleet is its warships collectively.
Fleet also works as an adjective meaning swift, and as a verb meaning to pass quickly, though these uses are literary and uncommon.
