Morphology
The meaning 'an institution training naval officers' is directly and transparently derived from 'naval' (related to the navy) + 'academy' (a training institution); a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer this compound noun. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows standard English noun–noun/adj+noun formation, so it is predictable rather than idiomatic.
Etymology
Naval academy comes from the words naval (about ships and the navy) and academy (a school). Imagine a school by the sea where students learn to sail, lead, and work on ships, and you see why it means 'a school that trains naval officers'.
