Definition: In Greek, "armadas" refers to the military forces that were originally used for naval warfare. In Hebrew, it was commonly referred to as "armahim" or "armada," meaning a collection of ships. These are the primary units in modern military navies and can be combined into various types based on specific needs.

1.

2.
Armament
- The physical equipment, weapons, and tools used by the military. This includes ships, boats, guns, ammunition, and all other hardware needed to conduct combat.
Examples:
