That depends on what you think a navy is for. If you think it's for fighting other ships, sure. If the point of a navy is to be a mobile forward base for air, amphibious, and/or ground assets, it's going to be a slightly more durable freighter, and will operate on the surface. It also won't operate outside of zones where people are actually likely to shoot at it, unless the point is to put a target up there where shooting it is an act of war (arguably this is the point of navies by TL 7).
