naval vessels
Military ocean craft
Naval vessels are ships and boats operated by a nation's navy for military purposes.

The naval vessels conducted exercises in the Pacific.
Vessel here retains its formal, slightly old-fashioned flavor—in everyday speech, people more often say warships or navy ships.
