Answered by CaptainReid | 2024-06-10

A fleet of warships is commonly referred to as a navy. Throughout history, navies have played a critical role in warfare and the projection of power over seas and oceans. For example, during the age of sail, the British Royal Navy's larger ships were known as ships of the line. These ships, which included vessels carrying sixty-four or more guns on multiple decks, were designed for naval warfare and could unleash devastating firepower. The best among these could form a line in the ocean and engage the enemy in fierce battles. Conversely, in ancient times, the Athenian navy consisted of triremes—swift warships rowed by free citizens—which enabled Athens to become a significant naval power during the Greco-Persian Wars.
