The English Navy, or Royal Navy, currently operates from three bases in the United Kingdom. Portsmouth, Clyde and Devonport, Plymouth- Devonport is the largest operational naval base in the UK and Western Europe
The Fleet air arm (the aviation section of the RN) operates from Yeovilton, Barkston Heath, Shawbury, Culdrose, Cottesmore and Prestwick. Each base has different aircraft assigned to it and that are based there.
e.g: Yeovilton is where Lynx training is based
Hope this helps

Primarily in that the Army is a land-based organization, while the Navy is sea-based.
You can look for a job in the navy at the navy website or you can go to hiring agencies. You can have a job in the navy based on your background and interests.
England is only one of 4 countries which make up the United Kingdom - the others being Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Queen is the head of state for all these countries, and in general terms, the UK is governed as a single country. The armed forces are drawn from and protect the whole of the UK. The Royal Navy is the maritime branch of the UK armed forces. There has not been an English Navy for centuries --There has never actually been a English Navy, it has always been the Royal Navy. It was kind of 'nick-named' the English navy because the majority of sailors were English men.
No.
You mean that the Spanish Armada was defeated by the English Navy and bad weather. The English navy achieved a victory over the Spanish at the Battle of Gravelines and sever storms disrupted the Spanish fleet
There are plenty of land based jobs in the Navy, but the Navy is a sea-going service, and sailors go to sea. There are few, if any, rates where you're not going to be subject to sea time.
This is an opinion question and will differentiate based on which Navy you are referring to. For example, a good Navy theme is the United States' 'Anchors Away.'
There is no English navy as such - for most purposes (inluding defence) the United Kingdom (made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Norther Ireland) is considered a single country. The Royal Navy is responsible for protecting the maritime interests of the UK

In this day and age? The Navy would have to be considered somewhat safer, based on the recent historical record.
