Difference between Navy and Squadron (naval)

Navy vs. Squadron (naval)

A navy or maritime force is the branch of a nation's armed forces principally designated for naval and amphibious warfare; namely, lake-borne, riverine, littoral, or ocean-borne combat operations and related functions. A squadron, or naval squadron, is a significant group of warships which is nonetheless considered too small to be designated a fleet.
