The combined fleets of the Peloponnesian League.
The principal warship of the time was the trireme, a narrow ship with three banks of oars and a ram in front.
The Peloponnesian War was primarily caused by the growing tensions between the Athenian Empire and the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta. Athens' expansionist policies and its use of the Delian League for imperial ambitions alarmed Sparta and its allies. Additionally, conflicts over trade, territorial disputes, and the desire for power contributed to the outbreak of the war in 431 BCE. Ultimately, these factors created a rivalry that escalated into a protracted and destructive conflict.

They used round stones, difficult to trade and no intrinsic value, the currency was not accepted outside of Sparta. It kept all their "money" in their local economy. ANSWER is that they used money like all the rest of the Greeks,only Spartan citizens/read soldiers were not allowed to have or possess any, so the buying and trade was done for them by slaves.And trade between cities was done by dwellers of Sparta that were not full citizens (were not born to mother and father Spartan,complicated story...) The stone money has more metaphorical meaning.

Jealousy manifested between Sparta and Athens as Sparta controlled the Peloponnesian League and Athens's controlled city and state governments in Greece. The war resulted in Sparta and Athens's quest to have ultimate control over the country's military and government.Athens, having established an empire out of the Delian League city-states it led against Persia, began to use this power to interfere in the affairs of other Greek cities, culminating in trying to bankrupt Megara, a member of the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. Athens ignored appeals by Sparta to back off, refused War then broke out.
No, Sparta was its leader, but Greek cities were very jealous of their independence and directed the League's affairs in council. Sparta was often a very reluctant leader given some of the actions it had thrust upon it - Sparta was so sure of its own power that it was reluctant to use it unless absolutely necessary.
The power of the Athenian led Delian league and to curb the power of Argos and Corinth. "Sparta formed its Pelopnnesian League, motivated at least partly by Athen's use of Delian League funds to rebuild its Acropolis"

When Athens established an empire over its allies in the wake of the Persian War, it had the money it extracted from then to spend on itself, and was able to use this on its own benefits and culture, and so was able to establish a strong cultural life. Sparta lived of its land, and could not. After Athens lost the Peloponnesian War, it was stripped of the empire whos funds it lavished on itself, and had to go back to thrifty living along with Sparta.

In about 460 BCE, after the Persian invasion had been repelled by the combined Greek forces, Sparta was facing a revolt by its serf population in Messene, and making heavy weather in putting it down. Athens offered to help and sent an expeditionary force to reinforce the Spartan forces. The Athenians were very adventurous in their operations, and showed up Spartan methods, which was based on trying to force a pitched battle with an elusive opposition which declined to make itself such a target. There is also a suggestion thet the Athenians showed some sympathy for the Messenians. The upshot was that Sparta invited the Athenians to go home, and the usual cooperative spirit between the two cities soured. After peace was finally made with the Persians in 449 BCE, Athens converted the anti-Persian Delian League which it led into an empire of its own, continuing to levy the war fund from the 200 cities of that league to use for its own benefit and maintaining a strong navy to enforce the annual collection of money. With this strength, Athens aggressively interfered in the affairs of the cities to which Sparta was allied in the Peloponnesian League, particularly Corinth. The Peloponnesian League members urged Sparta to help them stand up to Athens. A cocksure Athens persisted in interfering in other cities, and this came to a head when Athens banned Megara, a Peloponnesian League member, from trade with cities in its empire, which would destroy Megara. The Peloponnesian League demanded Sparta act, Sparta demanded Athens back off, Athens refused, war ensued.
