It depends on the warfare area - for Naval Aviation, it's a Flight (same as the AF). For the SEAL's, SeaBee's, and many shore commands, it's still a Platoon.
The term doesn't apply for Navy ships though, as a Platoon is based on the number of personnel in the group. If you were to base it on ship personnel, the likeliest equivalents would be a Task Element (single ship), Task Unit (2 ships) or a Squadron.
No. The equivalent rank in the Navy is Admiral.
An O-5 in the navy is a Commander
A platoon is a group of soldiers. The platoon marched in unison.
A troop was a unit of cavalry about equivalent to a infantry platoon. Numbers would be about 20 to 50.
A Royal Navy Captain is the same as a United States Navy Captain - it's the equivalent of a full Colonel in the armies of both countries. The next rank up is Commodore - Brigadier equivalent.
The name of the person third in command would depend on the specific organization or context in question. In a general sense, the third in command would typically be referred to as the "third-in-command" or "third ranking member" without a specific name provided.

The Production Budget for Platoon was $6,000,000.
Yes, in all branches of service. The Navy uses a different structure for officers than the Air Force, Army, and Marines. In the Navy, a Captain is O6, equivalent to a Colonel in the remaining branches. A Navy Lieutenant is O3, equivalent to Captain in the other branches, and a Navy Lieutenant Junior Grade is O2, equivalent to a First Lieutenant in the other branches.
