What part of the navy pays the most?

In the UK, it is Senior Naval Doctor, or Senior Legal Professional. Basically, a Doctor or a Lawyer, but in the Navy. In the US, the base salary depends on the pay grade, which is not exactly the same as rank but is closely related, and (in some cases) the number of years in service. There isn't a specific "part of the navy" that pays more, though there is a small bonus for hazardous duty.

Do navy ships have a doctor on board?

It depends on the size of the ship. In the US Navy cruisers, destroyers and frigates normally do not have a doctor on board, they will have a couple of corpsman, sort of super EMTs, to stabilize individuals until they can be medi-vaced to a ship or shore station with a hospital. Many of the larger amphibious ships and all the air craft carriers will have doctors and dentists aboard.
