'Marine' is also an adjective that refers to the ocean, similar to 'maritime'. I think 'marine' is much more common than 'maritime'. The latter is usually, but not necessarily, used to refer to human activities related to the ocean.
Navy: A branch of the military that usually serves on the water in ships.
Ex: "I am going to the Navy." Or "The Navy is very important".
Marine: A marine is someone who is in the "Marines", another military branch. They are responsible for being stationed under the sea like in a submarine.
Ex: "I am a marine because I serve in the U.S. Marines."
Maritime: refers to objects or any activities related to the sea.
Ex: Maritime animals: animals in the sea
"I enjoy maritime activities." Meaning I enjoy acitivies on or around the sea such as boating, swimming, fishing, etc.
