naval units

Ships of war

Naval units are organized divisions of a country's sea-based military forces—ships, submarines, aircraft carriers, and their crews operating as coordinated groups.

The term appears in military strategy, history, and games: The naval units moved into position off the coast.

A naval unit can range from a single vessel to an entire fleet depending on context.
