Deep blue sea service (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

navy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'deep blue' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'sea service' is the second definition.
'navy' can be an answer for 'service' (navy is a kind of service). I am unsure of the 'sea' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for navy that I've seen before include "Fleet - blue" , "Armed force" , "Dark shade of blue" , "Ships-of-war" , "military arm" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
