I believe this refers to the Navy that serves in the Ocean as opposed to navy ships and personel that served on in-land rivers and waters.

∙ 12y agoBlue water lakes are so-called because of their cobalt color, which is naturally deep and intense, unlike many other lakes and rivers which are often green, brackish or brown in color. A blue water lake is a lake in which the water is supplied from an underground spring or source of fresh water rather than being produced by the collection of rainwater and runoff from the surrounding topology--actions that would produce a lake of murky and silt-laden water suspending all kinds of detritus.

There are only three blue water lakes in the world: Lake Geneva in Switzerland, Lake Louise in Canada and West Okoboji Lake in Dickinson County Iowa.
Here are some specific details describing West Okoboji Lake.
West Okoboji Lake - West Okoboji Lake is located to the south and west of the City of Okoboji and northwest of the City of Arnolds Park. West Okoboji Lake is the largest of a chain of five connecting lakes, which is considered part of Iowa's Great Lakes. According to information obtained from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, West Okoboji Lake is comprised of 3,847 surface acres of water with an average depth of 38 feet and maximum depth of 136 feet. There are 19.8 miles of shoreline around West Okoboji Lake and the natural drainage basin is fed by 13,668 acres of land or approximately 22 square miles. Three State Parks are located along the shores of West Okoboji Lake, including Pillsbury Point, Gull Point, and Pike's Point that is located adjacent to the City of Okoboji's northern city limits. West Okoboji Lake is considered a blue water lake formed by glacial movements retreating north, and is only one of three blue water lakes in the world.More than 47 species of fish can be found in West Okoboji Lake, with approximately 11 species of popular sport fish.
West Okoboji Lake was called "Minnetonka" by the Sioux Indians and translated into "Great Waters". The first settlers decided to use a version of the name "Okoboozhy" for both lakes known today as the "Okoboji" lakes. West Okoboji is the second largest in the chain covering 3, 850 acres. It is a glacial lake created by the Wisconsin Glacier 14,000 years ago and has a maximum depth of 134 feet, which makes it the deepest natural lake in Iowa. Subterranean springs help provide the cool, clear, blue water of Iowa's most popular lake. West Okoboji is about seven miles long and up to two miles in width. Boats can travel to East Okoboji Lake under the Highway US 71 Bridge and a walking bridge

On a map what color is for water?
When you look into an ocean or a lake, the water looks like it's blue. But, up close, water isn't really blue. It's only blue when you look at it in big groups, (like an ocean or a lake, a pond etc.), because the sky is blue, so the color of the sky makes a blue reflection on the water, making it look blue. So, on a map, if you drew water as clear, nobody would be able to tell there was anything there at all! So, water on a map is drawn blue instead.
