you won't be an actual part of the military but you will serve in our merchant fleet. Perhaps if the US Navy is not for you then perhaps the Military Sealift Command may be to your liking where you would serve on military transport vessels(not combatants).
The Merchant Navy is a non-combatant commercial fleet, which deals with transporting cargo and occasionally, passengers, by sea.

William Harrison - merchant navy officer - was born in 1812.
The main difference in any country is mission. The "Navy" is a branch of the government in questioned who uses military built ships as weapons. The Merchant Marines or Merchant deal in Sealift or moving materials from one place to another. The Merchant Marine may also defend the Merchant ship he or she is on but the ship is not necessarily used by the military. Now in the US Navy we have MSC or Military Sealift Command. MSC moves materials around the world for the military but is more of a merchant Navy. Also the merchant navy may have military sailors stationed on them such as many of the US Navy's oilers.
