I'm doing a project for my English class, and I need to know if you capitalize the "n" in the word "navy" if you're not specifically talking about which navy it was. For instance, I know you capitalize "the British Navy," but is "navy" in itself a proper noun?

Nope. Just U.S. Navy or British Navy like you said. Navy is a noun, so you capitalize it (if there isn't a country in front of it) only if it's at the beginning of a sentence.

Unless you're talking about a specific navy (United States Navy), it does not need to be capitalized.

Every branch of the U.S. military is to be properly capitalized. U.S. Army, the Navy, Air Force grounds, etc. Foreign military retains lowercase - French army, British navy etc.

Yes. Any armed forces is capitalized in a sentence with or without U.S. in front of it.

Depends on how its used. If you use just as a noun "no".
