navy fleet

Seagoing military vessels

A navy fleet is a large organized group of warships under unified command.

The term is somewhat redundant since fleet alone typically refers to naval vessels, but navy fleet emphasizes military rather than commercial ships: The navy fleet assembled for exercises in the Pacific.

Fleet can also describe groups of aircraft, trucks, or taxis.
