No. Let me explain this. The USA, and UK have Blue water navies. Those navies have huge ships that are expensive and expensive to maintian. They have aircraft carriers, battleships, and lots of big ships. They can deploy marines. They can be resupplied halfway around the world by supply ships. Focus is to take on all other hostile ships, provide air supremeacy/air support, large anphibious operations far from home.

A green water navy can only operate near the coast. It cannont resupply far away from home. It has small aircraft carriers and it has heavy crusiers instead of battleships. Its focus is to take on Green and brown water navies while also providing air support. Can do an amphibious operation but not a really big one. They are medium expensive and medium number of ships.

Brown water navy. Cheap. Used to hold the line at rivers. Used to take out other brown water navies. Consists of gunboats and mabye a few destroyers. Lots of ships. Small anphibious operatons. Might launch a few helicopters for air support.
