Which one is more tough Army or navy?
Navy Big and really strong ships. Can handle lots of damage, they can also fire missiles, toss bombs into the water, fire machine-guns, fire cannons, detect enemy vessels and launch aircraft(some ships can launch aircraft). Air Force One or two missile hits will destroy planes. The Air Force have lots of firepower but also have lots of defense. Air Force aircraft can fire missiles, use machine-guns to shoot and drop bombs. These aircraft are also very fast and can travel up to supersonic speed. They can also dodge from missiles very easy. Yes, the Air Force is stronger than the Navy. They can pack alot of damage to ships by dropping bombs. Ships can only withstand missiles for long but they cannot withstand bombs. Both, the Air Force and the Navy can launch torpedoes to destroy enemy ships. Vessels also can't handle that much torpedoes because torpedoes packs a bunch of damage to ships and can punch a hole right through the vessel.

There were also the bombs dropped by the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) on the Royal Army Air Force locations, the seaports and cities.
