Voyna is "war". If you have piekhotiy, it's assumed that they're
warlike. On the other hand, a voyenomorskoiy flot is a "sea-war fleet",
because "morskoiy flot" could mean your fishing-boats and such like.

Hence "voyeno-kosmicheskiy flot" for the ESU in FB1, which I think was
my fault originally. :-)
