A naval ship is a military ship (or sometimes boat, depending on classification) used by a navy. Naval ships are differentiated from civilian ships by construction and purpose. Generally, naval ships are damage resilient and armed with weapon systems, though armament on troop transports is light or non-existent. Naval ships designed primarily for naval warfare are termed warships, as opposed to support (auxiliary ships) or shipyard operations. Naval ship classification Naval ship classification is a field that has changed over time, and is not an area of wide international agreement, so this article currently uses the system as currently used by the United States Navy. Aircraft carrierships that serve as mobile seaborne airfields, designed primarily for the purpose of conducting combat operations by Carrier-based aircraft which engage in attacks against airborne, surface, sub-surface and shore targets.

Un buque naval es un buque militar (o a veces un barco, dependiendo de la clasificación) utilizado por una marina. Los buques navales se diferencian de los buques civiles por construcción y propósito. En general, los buques navales son resistentes a daños y armados con sistemas de armas, aunque el armamento en los transportes de tropas es ligero o inexistente. Los buques navales diseñados principalmente para la guerra naval se denominan buques de guerra, en lugar de apoyar (navíos auxiliares) o operaciones de fábrica. Clasificación de buques navales La clasificación de los buques navales es un campo que ha cambiado con el tiempo, y no es un área de amplio acuerdo internacional, por lo que este artículo actualmente utiliza el sistema como se utiliza por la Marina de los Estados Unidos.
