Donanma, or "naval fleet," refers to a group of military ships organized for defense and warfare. It typically includes various types of vessels, such as aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines, each serving specific roles in maritime operations. The primary purpose of a donanma is to protect a nation's interests at sea and ensure maritime security. In many countries, the donanma is a crucial component of national defense, often working alongside other branches of the military, such as the army and air force. Countries like Turkey and the United States maintain robust donanma to project power and respond to threats in international waters.
