yes, but if the Chinese Navy does not fit what you expect from a navy it is more misleading than helpful. Which military service are the Italian Carabinieri? The US Marines? 

What about the Guardia di Finanza?

I agree we will probably find use for both, a specific operator tag and a more generic attempt to put the things into boxes.
