Typically the army does not name ships. The navy names ships, with only two exceptions (Condererate submarine in US Civil War, Japanese carriers in WWII) of named vessels operating under army command rather than navy. As to how the navy names ships, they are usually built to a class and named with some commonality (Cities, famous battles, famous people, animals, adjectives, et cetera.)

Does the US Army have more ships then the US Navy?

Absolutely not - the U.S. Navy currently has the largest afloat Navy in the world, and with the collapse of the Soviet Union, no other nation is even close in size or strength. Army ships are generally logistics, landing, or electronics telemetry receiving ships and tugs. They are few in number compared to the Navy, since the Navy's mission is to keep global sea lanes open. A link below shows the current list of Army ships, excluding the US Army Corps of Engineers.
