Morphology
The meaning 'the naval military branch of the United States' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'US' (United States) with 'navy' (military service operating at sea). This compositional proper-name pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard noun-noun naming, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
US Navy comes from US, short for 'United States', and Navy, a word for a country's group of ships. So US Navy means the American military group that operates and protects the country on the 'sea' today.
